I will get gas when its about 50miles left.

I don't see why there would be anything wrong with filling it up too often, just too much hassle really.

well in hawaii the cheapest place to get gas is costco. and seeing how basically all the gas in hawaii is the same since we only have like 2 refineries the cheaper the better. but seeing how u have to go out of your way to get to costco sometimes i wait till 1/4 tank or lower. i dont really see why even that would be bad for your tank.

half tank for me all the time:P never below half tank

There is no reason to keep your tank full, either way will not have any affect on any parts or the life of the vehicle.

the only thing i can think of is that one thread about saving gas. and when u keep it 1/2+ u save more gas.

1/4 of tank for me...then I refill. I couldn't imagine going to the pump everyday??? I hate pumping gas (especially since it's around $4/gal where I live).

i tried to push it once.. went about 15 miles past 0 range and stayed at a friends place for a while... later the car wouldnt start.... never let the light turn on again after that

I don't let my IS350 get more than 2 miles on it ever without a fill-up. I stop from gas station to gas station when I'm going from point A to point B.

Sure it's a PITA, but OCD is a *****!
</sarcasm>

hahaha, How can one be so ODD? Wait till its at empty, unless you can't afford $50-$60 per fill-up each week. I usually buy gas when it's on "E".

I thought you drive a full tank everyday.

I've driven approx. 40-50 Freeway miles when the mileage indicator says the car has "0 miles until empty".

The light turns on WELL before the indicator shows 0. You waited till the light turned on, waited for the indicator to hit 0 and drive an additional 15 miles. That's like saying "I walked outside looking to start a fight, then I got my *** kicked, now I don't walk outside anymore"

Where are you people getting all your info..

Below half tank it's bad for the fuel pump? They don't need to be submerged 24/7 in order for them to be cooled. Your tank sloshes around when you drive anyway. Just fill it around a quarter tank and you're golden.

You've gotta remember not all fuel pumps are built-in the tanks themselves..some are in-line w/ the fuel lines and some cars even have two because of the driveshafts coming through the tanks..so it's not rule of thumb to say that it's bad for every car.

Haha yep, more urban myths.

No myth, http://www.carterfueldelivery.com/fu.../consumers.php well o.k. a little exaggeration. No quantity given but it says don't let it get really low.
