why would i ever not fill up my tank?

buying 3 dollars worth of gas is pointless becuase you're just going to have to fill it the next day.

2 gallons.

I had a car with a 10 gallon tank, the trip was going to take 9 gallons non-stop, and I have 8 gallons left. So, I tanked up and went non-stop.

if you think about it... every time you fill up your tank (take a maxima for example), you haul 18.8 gallons of gasoline in the tank around... which contributes to lower gas milage.

but yeah its too much trouble to buy gas every day. esp when you have an emergency and you run out of gas... not fun.

not to mention the added gas used driving to and from the gas station every day (assuming its out of the way)

but unless i was broke and could only afford a dollars worth of gas.. i'm filling up the tank.

Like a $1 worth? I did it when I first got my car in high school and didn't have any money.

Hey a gallon of gas is a gallon of gas! That's a good 25 miles there.

Yeah but they were still working out the bugs back then. They had 1/2 cylinder engines and instead of horse power, they were measured in GOAT power. But we LIKED it that way!
