I always keep the car full of fuel, you never know when you need to hit the trail a bit sharpish

Exactly, who knows when you are going to need to break out the fake passports and make a fast get away........
Having a full tank of gas is as close I get to having an emergency plan like that.

I have recorded every fill up in every car owned dating back to 1972 when I bought my first car. Because I have recorded all this data it seems a shame to stop now. |

Although I'm not bothering with the new car. Partly because it records data for me, partly because trying to keep track of how much electricity goes in is impossible and partly because it won't tell you how much actually went in on a charge anyway! Edit: turns out that I can download the data in csv format anyway. Yay. Last edited by I-S; Nov 27th, 2017 at 21:34. |

I tend to do £29 something, mainly as the hybrid only has a 40l or so tank, so that nearly fills it, and I get 1% cashback with NatWest credit card for contactless payments..
I was quite gutted the other week when I last filled up and the drink I bought pushed it up to £30.04 |

I fill my old Saab every time it's about quarter of a tank. Quite a small tank for a v6 motor, only takes around 60 quid so I'm at the garage at least once a week, but hey, it's an indulgence.

We live quite a way from the nearest gas station so putting in small amounts would make no sense - anyway who puts £10 or £20 in these days ?
We used to run a military vehicle, a Dodge WC51 Weapons Carrier, consumption...measured in gallons per mile ! Jon. |
