Fill it up every time, saves going back to the fuel station too often when some weeks I do nearly 1000 miles

With the weight of my C70, I don't think filling the tank is going to penalise me much extra weight-wise. I use Tesco or Esso, so I get the club card points, and pay with my M&S card, so get their points as well.
I pay off the card every month, so for me it's just not worth faffing about with less than brimming it. (I have to brim the JZR, as it only has a 2 gallon tank......)

I always brim mine. Feel embarrassed when I'm driving a courtesy car and only put a fivers worth in..

Cheap as chips
I found a couple of diesel receipts,thought they might be of interest,date back to '91/92. I was running an '86 pug.305 estate. One former owner,The Rev.Cherry,Religiously Serviced,of course! One was M1 Newport Pagnell,Nov.'91. 32.67 ltrs.£15.@46p ltr. & one M1 Watford Gap,Feb.'92. 22.46 ltrs. £10.@44.5p ltr. Of course it was cheaper still, off the Motorway.
Regards,K.

Today I put about £4 in, just to make sure it didnt run dry, and later I brimmed it at a cheaper station with a discount voucher from the local paper.
