At least we don't have to put our cars (or our lives) on hold
for six months of the year when it gets all cold and snowy.
Heck, that's often the best time of year for us. So it gets
a little hot here for a few months -- that's why we have A/C.

Now Mark is funnin' with ya'll too.
"a LITTLE hot here for a FEW months?"
We will hit 90 degrees with 85%+ humidity within the first two weeks of May. It stays this hot and humid straight through the end of September. That's four solid months of swealtering humid heat. It's like sitting in a sauna with a heat lamp five inches from your head with the top down from 10 am to 6 pm on these days.
Even with the top up, the AC just doesn't cool off my boxster, even when parked in the shade in the summer months.
Just so you'll know, I think about our looooong summers the way everyone up north thinks about their winters.
And to get this thread back on track (sorry) I do try to pump early in the AM before it heats up and I get more vapor than fluid in the tank. Heck, even if the fuel in the underground tank at the station is cool, it's being pumped into a tank that's 100 degrees or higher and that's got to heat up what I'm putting in there, right?
