I take a racer's approach to it. The fewer stops I have to make, the less time I waste on pit-in and pit-out. I might as well maximize the distance I get in between fuel stops.
In each of my vehicles I know how many gallons are left when the light winks on. So I have a rough idea how many miles I've got left before I'm hoofin' it. I just make sure I fill up before I've hit that distance. Useful to know in those rare occasions when I'm in BFE or running really really late and need to know if I can make it to my destination or not on what I've got left. |
Me too. And I've never run out.
I figure I gas up about once a week. As close to bone ****** dry as I can get. If a fill up takes 10 minutes, I'll spend more than 400 hours in a gas station over 50 years. If I fill up at 1/4 tank that number goes over 500. No thanks.
