I have seen some interesting things about the temp of gas when it is delivered and when it is pumped to your truck. There is a huge gap in volume I believe.

I didn't trip over the inconsistency too much...but it piqued my curiosity. Once I saw the inconsistency go the opposite way for highway driving, it didn't even bother me any more. I figured there were some issues such as you mentioned that are totally over my head.
