At some temperature this would be true.  But,  we still don't know what that temperature is.  It has been noted that some components are volatile at temps as low as 70 deg F.

        This is for MoGas, not AvGas.

        As I understand it, the mix for MoGas changes with the local seasons. I don't think they change the mix for AvGas seasonally, but I could easily be mistaken.

        Being an experimentalist type, I would probably slowly warm up a small vented container of AvGas and carefully watch the level as I did so. The temperature at which the level started to change in the container would be the "redline" I would set for the tank temperature.
