It seems weird that I'm not subscribed to this thread already ... maybe I am and the forum got a glitch.
Anyway, since a fullish tank loses less fuel to evaporation than an emptyish tank, and running really low tempts possibly fictional "grit" into the pumps, I fill up with 45.5 litres every time (ish). This way I know vaguely what mileage I'm getting and if the engine suddenly goes all inefficient I'll know about it when my ten gallons doesn't get me 300 miles.
