An automobile gas tank is filled to its capacity of 20.00 gallons with the gasoline at an initial temperature of 10$\degree$C. The automobile is parked in the Sun causing the gasoline's temperature to rise to 60$\degree$C. If the coefficient of volume expansion for gasoline is 9.6 *10^-⁴/$\degree$C, what volume runs out the overflow tube? Assume the change in volume of the tank is negligible. A) 1.74 gallons B) 0.96 gallon C) 0.72 gallon D) 0.30 gallon
