When do you fill the tank of gas in your car?

Re: When do you fill the tank of gas in your car?

Now it is when quarter of it is left. Since husband takes care of it now.

When I was on my own it was usually when fuel is going to end anytime :P

Re: When do you fill the tank of gas in your car?

Filling my motorbike is lot cheaper than filling up a car. So I used to fill it up with enough fuel to last me a regular week. But this was back when I was using it to commute to university. I use the bus now, so keeping the gas tank full probably isn't a good idea, because Gas has a limited shelf life(2-6 months). Don't want my bike running on gas older than a month.

Same goes for the car at home. It isn't used much, so I never fill it up more than a quarter tank. Besides this is Karachi, there are gas stations everywhere.

When the light goes on.

I have a fixed budget. I fill up with only Rs 1000. Recently I hiked the budget to Rs. 1500 due to the price rise :)..

I always like to drive around until it is literally empty. In Bangalore, you dont have to bother. You can park the car anywhere and run to get a can of petrol :p

Re: When do you fill the tank of gas in your car?

i fill it up as soon as its lower then half full.. terrified of running out of gas :hinna:

Re: When do you fill the tank of gas in your car?

Shhh! That's not the point! When the gas light is flickering, the paranoia about my car stalling goes up, and turning off the radio makes me think I'm conserving gas - it's psychological :D

That’s me! I don’t mind paying for gas…just hate pumping gas and the smell of it.

Is that true? :frowning:

Why do you guys fill your tanks with “gas”? :confused: Doesn’t it slow you down a bit?

I've been told its good for the car to "drive it out" .. Dont know if its true

Re: When do you fill the tank of gas in your car?

yeah I have ‘driven it out’ many times. So much so that had to get a rickshaw couple of times and bring petrol back in a bottle :hehe:

Re: When do you fill the tank of gas in your car?

Radio does run on gas since gas charges battery which runs radio. So turning off headlights etc will extend range.

Re: When do you fill the tank of gas in your car?

Depends on how long the trip is. Everyday = when the light is on. Road trip = when there's about a quarter left
