Knowledge Matrix on Instagram: "Have you ever noticed your car’s tank seems fuller at night than during the day, even if the pump reads the same? The culprit isn’t a faulty meter — it’s fuel temperature. Gasoline and diesel expand and contract depending on temperature. During the heat of the day, fuel molecules move faster, increasing volume. A liter measured in scorching midday heat actually contains slightly less mass than the same liter at cooler night temperatures. At night or early morning,

Inovinate on Instagram: "Ever noticed fuel feels different depending on the time of day? ⛽📉 That’s not your imagination — it’s physics. Fuel expands when it’s hot and contracts when it’s cold. While the pump always delivers the same volume, the energy inside that volume changes with temperature. During the day, heat causes gasoline and diesel to expand underground, making them slightly less dense — meaning marginally less energy per liter or gallon. At night, cooler temperatures keep fuel dense
