Yep from empty, at 3am.
i figured if the myth of colder gas is true i may as well fill up since i was out.
I heard another myth yesterday too saying if you dont click the gas nozzle at full open and keep it at low you get more gas for the money. i guess if its at full open your pumping gas and vapor bubbles from the fast pump.

Gas like any material has volumetric changes due to temperature changes. However, there is a flaw in thinking if I buy gas at night when it's cooler, I am getting more. The underground storage tank is burried deep enough that there are minimal changes in temperature. The tank/fluid temp is about 55 degrees. Only when fresh fuel is delivered is there any changes in temp and volume. So, it's best to buy when the station has not recieved a fuel delivery within the last 12 hours. Other then that it's just a myth.
