I can see the first one being true if the tanks were above ground but I think they're far enough below ground that the temperature of the tank might only change by a few degrees. A few degrees isn't going to give you anything.

Here is another tip:

There is excess gasoline left in the hose after you have filled up. Tilt the hose upwards to get the rest of it. Make sure your tank is NOT FULL otherwise it will spill.

I do this once in awhile, people around the pump look at me funny but why waste the rest that i've paid for.
