- With the controversy from the F1 race today and the possible cooling of fuel by BMW and Williams and the idea of cooling the fuel to get it to take up less volume got me thinking. Next month on the 2

- If I remember correctly, the expansion rate for gasoline is about .6% for every 10 degrees F. So if you drop the fuel say 40 degrees, you decrease the volume by 2.4%. Will that make a significant eno
