When refuelling, do you...

[thermidorthelobster]

I'm a light-comes-on person myself.

[Jim-Willy]

The ninety has a tiny tank so i tend to not let her get much less than quarter tank but thats dependant on money and whether i can be bothered or not.....  Why does the 2nd half of the tank not last as long as the first anyway? :roll:

[Yoshi]

What about those who just fill up once a week on a set day??? theres no provision for them!

[sleeplessparadise]

Sometimes I drive so long I worry I wont be able to open the jerry can and fill up with my spare.......other times I dont even wait till it hits orange

[Bush Tucker Man]

I top it up every 150-200miles or so.

[TDi90]

im very much against the light on theory approach. you can get build up of [PooPoo] in the bottom of the tank, and i dont really want thaqt going through my fuel filter! i tend NEVER to let it go below minimum quarter tank,... and usually fill up around half a tank...

[missroadrage]

I don't trust the light so normally fill up after about 400 kms or just below 1/4 tank :D

[Jake]

At the moment i fill up (to the brim) every Tuesday (payday)
Worst thing is, i use most of it every week!
Ker-ching
 :shock:

[mark.yellow.series.3]

i have a V8, the tanks always empty

[martha focker]

wenever i need it :D

yes another crap joke  

[SimonHarwood]

I usually wait until the light comes on, but if I am going on a specific journey (unless I have more than 3/4 tank) I fill up on the day or the day before.

I am not convinced that my fuel gauge is that accurate anyway. After filling up it is off the top of the scale and it is still going after the reading is off the bottom of the red. (I don't usually let it get that low though.)

[CaptainColourful]

HWMBO drives mine (oops hers  :oops:  ) all week and I get the pleasure of sticking £30 or so of my hard earned into the tank when she mentions it's "getting a bit low"
I did top up the night before the budget ... it was scarey to see how long it took to fill to the brim... then I remembered to turn the engine off  :!:  
As it turned out for once the petrol prices didn't go up at 6pm that night ...Duh

[hobbit]

Unless I'm doing a job, (when I fill up before I go out and again when I get back)...If I spot it in time on a quarter of a tank is as low as I like to go

Running on a low tank is something I dont like doing really, you can get  condensation in the air gap, which can lead to an accumulation of water in tank

[andycwb]

For the everyday car, I tend to fill up when I'm in dnager of the light coming on, or before going on a long run.  

After 5 years with a duel fuel car, I also have to remember that i can't just hit a switch when it runs out of fuel any more (and also to put DIESEL in the tank).

I fill the Dakar up each time I take it out, since I don't trust the fuel gauge on it.

[Stormin]

The light on my 90 starts flashing when the gauge reads half full. Round corners, up and down hill, over bumps and in holes. Given the state of the roads up here,  :roll:  that's most of the time anyway. If the gauge reads empty, there's still about 3 gallon in there.

[Bunnie]

puggy gets £20 either thursday or friday dependant on finances which normally lasts me the week unless im doing something different in which case she'll get a full tank

Except in the 6x6 which was every fuel station you passed :-)

[L90OOK]

Whenever I am near a supermarket or cheap source of fuel...not often!! :?

[ian_s]

i nearly always leave it til its running on fumes, means i have to go the petrol station slightly less often

[Bobtail]

Same here :lol:

[fudge]

I tend to play the 0.0 Litres game in the smarts, they count you down from 5.5 lites and when they hit 0.0L it usually means I am no where near fuel....

0.0L in a smart gets me about 6 miles.....

Maybe next time I'll aim for 7 or 8 and see what happens.

When I sold vans, I used to go right through the light on my bus, and get about 75 miles off the light.... and then squeeze 80 litres on a 75 litre tank!

Its a fun game.... I guess oneday I'll pay the price. or buy a fun car that excites me in other ways!

[landy4x4xfar]

every Saturday £30 on a bad week £40 on a good and sooner than later it's full and the forget it for 3 weeks and start again!  \:D/  \:D/  \:D/  \:D/

[Drift]

I full up £62 derv when the needle is just in the red about once every three weeks if I use it just to get to work and back.
But depends what I do at weekends    that increases  :D

Once in Guinea we had emptied the 110L tank, finished 220L of jerry cans and were finishing off the last 20L jerry can when we got to a petrol station.  Luckily, they actually had some petrol.  To fill up cost the equivalent of 6 months' wages to a Guinean.   :shock:

[graham78]

depends what i am doing, where i am going and how much cash i got!!!!

Light? What light?

I've sold my high tech Suzuki that had a light which flashed when you went round a cornet under half a tank  :lol:

The V8 110 doesn't have the luxury of a warning light so I rely on the beads of sweat forming as I watch the gauge drop like a stone  :lol:

Wondered why it cost me only £2 to fill it up :lol:  :lol:

[Boggert]

1/4 of a tank and I'm at the petrol station. :lol:

[Skibum346]

I top it up every 150-200miles or so.

I have to!   :(

It's a V8...   :D

[Daz800]

I dont think the light on my 90 works.
I wait untill the needle touches the red.

now swmbo waits untill the light on her td5 comes on then tells me its need fuel.
