Usually around 1/4 tank. Sometimes I check to see if the low fuel warning still works but I try to not let it get that low.

I don't let it get under 1/4 tank if I can help it.

Once I hit 200 miles, I know I'd better be filling up soon. I don't even need to look at the gas gauge...

Murphy's Pump

Today I pulled up to the pump, looked at the price $3.99, and slid my card in the reader. The price suddenly jumped to 4.059, as the update from corporate just took effect.

One less red light, and it would have been a different story...

This.

I wait til the Low Fuel Warning then I'll stop at the gas station within the next 20 or so miles of driving. I like to prolong visiting the Gas Station as long as possible.

I only drive it for fun and not very far and I don't pay for gas so every 2nd or 3rd time I drive it? Usually 1/2 a tank maybe a little less.

I do it at about 1/8th this way i can tell my girl friend "i just put $50 in gas so don't ask me to take you out."

I usually spend about $80plus per week on gas

I refill about 1/4 tank. I've let the Camaro go a little below that, but not much. I try and keep at least 1/4 at all times.

Especially with my old winter beater. I can't trust that gauge is right. :P

+1. And although it's my weekend car, it still hurts my wallet when I fill her up.

I usually fill up at around 1/2 a tank, it is less of a shock to the wallet. I waited to around an 1/8 of a tank today before I filled up, ouch!!!! 12 gal @$3.99 cost me over $48. I won't wait that long again. On the other side of the coin, with gas prices on the rise, a person is probably better off letting the tank get low. That $3.99 gas I bought today, might be over $4 something tomorrow and by next week even higher. So, what is a person supposed to do, buy one of these?
