I am no Einstein either but this falls into the Gasoline category. Now, the reason why it is said so is because gasoline is denser in cooler state. There is no such change in the shape but the molecules bond more, whereas in conditions where the tempearture is higher like in the afternoon time there will be more vapours though the volume remains the same.

I suppose that is the way it goes..
