I have a buddy who works in the pipeline area of fuel transport.  We had this discussion locally when gas was $5/gal.  He did indicate that for his job, they do check fuel temp when pumping and transporting to ensure a specific volume of fuel.  But they were transporting thousands of gallons opposed to the 4 gallons on our bikes or the 20-50 on our cars. 

Difference?  Yes.  Enough to change your life?  up to you, I'd say no.
My fast lap is your sighting lap.

I never meant to suggest that volume made a difference in any situation other than in a gp bike where fuel capacity is strictly monitored.

I still think it makes a difference in their lives.
