No. Gasoline is primarily H2O. So, if you are in an extremely cold area you may want to think about using a Water Remover once a week when you fill up your tank or a gas line antifreeze.

Doug is right on. The tank that is full has less exposed area for condensing the moisture vapour to a liquid. The tank however cannot always be full, moisture can also come from the gasoline product as well. The gas when it is blended @ the refinery can often contain moisture from the various treating processes the products go through. They blend the gas with often 3 or 4 components mix it and let it settle in the storage tank for aprx 12 hours. They "thief" the tank ( method for measuring water in the tank) and drop off what they can. The draw from the tank to the pump is not taken off the very bottom of the tank in order to help prevent water going to the service stations. Still some gets entrained and can get to your car tank. In extreme cold climates it is wise to add gas gasoline anti freeze occasionally to your gas . All it is, alcohol, you can use rubbing alcohol, isopropol alcohol, they all work, the water is immiscible in the alcohol. Cheaper to buy @ the drugstore than @ the automotive store.

the less space at the top of the tank,the less space for condensation,this is especially true if you park in heated garages,add some fuel drier every now and then to prevent this

no, the level of fuel in your vehicle has nothing to do with whether it will or will not hvae water in it to freeze in the first place
myths are hilarious
if theres water then it can freeze, if not then no
good luck

I don't think gas freezes, put some in your freezer and see.

No, but make sure you use gasoline anti-freeze or go where they have "winter gas",
