damnit I hate when I forget to subscribe to my own threads lol .... But I have come to consensus now that I will start filling up 50 bucks each fill and refilling when it hits quarter tank...Part of me still wants to say screw it and do like 07burb does haha
I fill it up (or as close to full as the $100 limit will get me). And for whatever reason, I wait until the light comes on. Actually ran out of gas for the first time (in this truck) the other day. Stupid, I know, but at least I was in my driveway and had gas at home.
I wait for the light to come one, then I keep a close eye on the gauge and when the needle is right at empty or below, I go just a liiiittle bit further. Then I fill it up.
Those who keep there tank around 1/4 full might as well buy a extra pump to keep on hand. Your pump will go out sooner or later. The pumps are not very reliable so I do what I can to keep them cool.
If at the station it gets a full tank. A partial just means ill be back sooner. I know ill burn it so may as well fill all way up. I don't even look at the cost anymore swipe the BP card accept my discount and fill her up. Move on with my life.
Seriously....My father-in-law is to the other extreme. Once one of his cars uses a 1/4 he goes and tops it back off to full again. In his head this is "cheaper" because he only pays $30 to fill it up. He doesn't care about the fact of going to the gas station every other day
That's how my grandad is. But he has a 2004 Buick with 8,000 miles on it. 1/4 tanks will last him month or so. Grocery store is 1/2 mile church is 2 miles. He fills at 1/4 never know when there will be a shortage he said.
My grandpa was that way in the 60's according to my mom. He and my grandma both drove VW bugs and he'd have 5 or 6 5 gallon cans of gas in the garage in case of a shortage
