I don't think insulation is really gonna make much difference in your scenario.Once you get more than a couple of meters below ground the temperature is pretty stable year-round.
You might save more by filling up shortly after a delivery in the winter (before the delivered fuel has warmed up to 8-10c), or a day or so after delivery in the summer (to allow the delivered fuel to cool down).
I dunno, I'm freestyling here...

It does make a difference with LPGAutogas is almost always kept in above-ground tanks, and there can therefore be substantial temperature variations. So if you fill the car's tank to the limit (there's a cutoff) first thing on a cool morning and then leave it parked in hot sunshine, you're quite likely to lose gas as the safety valve vents it. Which is fine as long as there are no smokers or smouldering dog-ends around ...
