Abstract: Liquid fuels at gas stations expand and contract their volume due to temperature variations. In South Korea, the ambient temperature varies between -15 ? in winter and 35 ? in summer. Volume expansion coefficients of liquid fuels are about 0.1 %/?. Rising global temperatures only make this a greater controversial point concerning the monetary benefits to stakeholders. To investigate this issue, we measured the daily change of fuel temperature at gas stations. We also scrutinized the daily, monthly, and annual changes of the temperature for the last 50 years in South Korea. The temperature of the fuel in the storage tank and the delivered fuel at the gas station were also measured. The results show that the temperature of the fuel in the storage tank was kept stabilized regardless of summer or winter. Many factors, such as the surrounding conditions, the fuel filling frequency, and the location of the gas station, have exerted an influence on the temperature of the delivered fuel. The results of this study will contribute to fair transactions and can be applied to establish a national regulation
