We already know that gas evaporates easily. But the hotter it is, the faster it evaporates. It's better that you pump gas when it's cooler. Studies have shown that ideal conditions is when its 65 degrees or cooler. that way less gas evaporates into the air and you're not charged for the few cents per tank of unused and evaporated gas.
If you're in a place that never gets below 65 degrees in the summer (even at night or in the morning) like Arizona, early morning before sunrise is ideal, but after sundown will do as well.
Good luck!

I don't recall the exact chemical reaction, but during the summer unburned hydrocarbons from both fuel hoses and tailpipes cause the formation of ozone near the surface of the earth, and ozone aggravates the ability to breathe especially if you have asthma. Hence those occasional ozone alerts in August. Its a different issue from the problem of CFCs that reduce the ozone layer in the upper stratosphere, although the two are frequently confused.

It hurts the weather mans ozone layer on the ground but it is NO2 not O3. The ozone layer is so high up that very few gases can get there. O3 is deadly and without a special charge will not stay O3 but will drop to O2. The CFC thing can not get that high.

You had better give a source for this information. I don't think there is any proof that this is so.
