I'm going have to fill up my car sometime in the next couple of days
Gas prices are a reasonable 2.89 tonight. Should I go and gas up tonight, or wait till tomorrow and hope they don't spike up.

if the gas is colder in the morning, it should be more dense -- and so you should get more

so as long as the price doesn't go up between now and then, you'll be better off tomorrow

Got to fill-up earlier this week for 2.31, it has jumped about 10-15 cents a gallon since then.

I live in central FL, gas has been easing down the last
7-10 days from a high around 3.10 locally

the gas tanks are several feet underground, i'm sure it doesn't get too hot under there regardless.
