I usually try to fill up before it gets below 1/4 tank. It is easier on the in tank fuel pumps. They tend to run hot when fuel levels get low. Running on fumes can get expensive.

I read somewhere that running modern cars down really low can have a few detrimental effects, so i try not to let mine go below about a third of a tank. I usually fill it up each week when it's half full.

@SW-User Oh. Ha. Ha. I should have said I have all that done by a mechanic on a schedule. I let them check everything else as needed. Sorry for the confusion.

@Tomorrow Lol it's ok, it's just how i work, and i also have roadside insurance so if it breaks down, one text and it's fixed or towed to my mechanic. To me a car is just an expensive thing to get me from A to B, i'd rather leave how it works to those who are really good at it.

@SW-User Oh me too! :)

I alternate seasonally. Fumes in the Summer and halfway in the Winter to minimize condensation in the tank.

@SW-User I don't like being late so i leave maybe a few minutes early. I only tie a double bow with boots that have a history if coming untied. We would most likely not score the same on a personality test. Lol.

@Tomorrow I should develop this, come up with a snappy name or acronym for it. Trial it here then copyright it and watch the riches flood in...

@SW-User You should! Just remember who your friends are and where you got the idea.

Usually when it gets down to about a quarter of a tank.

I fill up when my car has less than 30 miles left. It tells me how many miles I can drive without filling up. If I’m travelling though to the next town, I will fill up when the fuel light comes on when it hits 50 miles left.

@Gingerbreadspice Mine tells me too. Sadly I have been at "0" miles left before I filled the tank. Lol. That's really what it said but I made it to the station anyway.

@Tomorrow Oh dear 😧. Mine has proved to be okay so far and not let me down.
Tomorrow · 56-60, F
@Gingerbreadspice Mine too. I was lucky it didn't die on me before I got to the station. I wonder how far I really could have gone with it saying "0" range. I wondered but not enough to find out! 😂

I refuel at 1/4 of a tank.
indyjoe · 56-60, M
Most of the time I don't like it to get below quarter tank...but there have been times when it has almost run empty, it just depends on payday and our money situation at the time.

I usually refuel before the light pops or when the fuel is almost at 1/4th.
Letting your fuel go low Everytime affects the fuel pump in the long run which is not cheap.

Always fill up at half, freak out and get filled when it reaches a quarter of a tank.

I try to keep it full because you never know when the zombie apocalypse will occur.

@SW-User Ooooh! Good point. *puts a few pointed weapons in the car trunk and heads for the gas station*

i do around 500 klms / 325 miles and then fill it up - still has around 200klms in the tank
Crusher69 · 61-69, M
Depends on if there is a cheap deal on offer - so it could be under half or close to empty 😁
