Energy content of gasoline varies significantly just with different blends. Reynold number alone varies signficantly between winter and summer.
Problem with all these claims about colder or warmer gas - no numbers. Suggests junk science reasoning.
Prices vary even with season far more than the energy content in a gallon of gas due to temperature. If less energy in a summer gallon, well just another reason why that gallon costs a little less.
Meanwhile, how many people care? View the naive buying gas at discount stations (Sheets, Wawa, 7-11, Hess, etc) who therefore pay more for the gas - dollars per mile. Did they do the numbers? But again, so many just know; do not first do numbers. No numbers is how a junk scientist is created and promoted by the 'local gossip' (some call it the 5 o'clock news).
