With the way the gas prices are shooting up, it might be a good idea to fill up early and often. That way you can at least save that much before it goes up again.

With that said, I fill up when the car tells me it's running low. lol I fill up at Arco with debit and don't want to pay that .35 charge frequently.

Usually at a 1/2 tank. In my younger years, I've gotten stuck too often in heavy traffic with less than a 1/4 tank. I don't like breakin' a sweat over something like this and you never know when it's going to happen. 1/2 tank my friends. 1/2 tank.
