1/4ish depending if my axillary tank is hooked up.

But in WI, I check mudflap and avoid the revolving dime in this state. You can just about split this state up into 1/3 or 1/4 and see the prices change. If fuel goes down in Racine/Kenosha, then it seems like LaCrosse or Green Bay goes up. Like the average is always there, just a matter of who gets to pay a little less and who pays a little more

We don't travel extensively; retired, staying home or at the cabin. Local travels around town or into the city (30 miles round trip) ... fill up every other Wednesday. Traveling in state ... fill either when I get there and when I get back home; or if shorter ... fill up at the end of the round trip. On a trip across the country like to Coyote Days or National Conventions ... I'll fill up every potty break, about 250 to 300 miles. Top tier, non- ethanol, premium gasoline as recommended by the manufacture ... Eleanor (yes, the vehicle got named crazy , don't ask) just runs better.

just above E to less than 1/8 tank.
I have driven a good distance after the dinger/low fuel light has come on.
Makes my wife nervous.

I have only run out of gas once about 40 yrs ago.
I was lucky, I was going down hill, coasted thru a stop sign and couple hundred ft further was a Clark station, coasted right up to the pumps, couldn't of planned it better.

why waste so much of your time buying gas.

I keep them full or near full for local driving.Especially in winter.
If I am travelling it depends on where I am going and which truck,
With the f 150 i can go 1200km on a full tank so not much worried if there is no gas station for a few hundred km,
With the ranger the tank is much smaller so I got to pay attention on any longer trips in Northern Ont.

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

In the warmer months I'll let it get down to a quarter tank, still plenty to get to the hospital and back. In the winter I don't let it get below half, just in case we get stuck in the woods and I need to keep the kids warm for awhile.

Now we live .5 miles from the nearest gas station, which I use the most. With script gas cards I usually fill up when and if the prices move downward. Been hard to guess that the last 4-5 months. Typically I fill when I am above a strong quarter or so.

Gas in the tank and Food in the pantry , kept full and rotated keeps you able to weather many a storm.


America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

I run mine almost out almost every time. I haven't had any fuel pump issues. There were cars that had that problem but all cars aren't like that. Gas is cheaper near work for me. So to answer your question mines about out and I usually get it when I'm getting to or leaving work.

Who has the best fuel rewards. Am I missing out on Speedway points or something?
