If you live where the temperatures are very cold in the winter, you should fill your tank. It cuts down on the condensation in the gas line which can cost you in repairs and vehicle downtime. At least that is what my husband says....
I try to never let my tank get below half full. Never know when you will get stuck in traffic & run out of gas. Besides, yesterday my favorite gas station was out of gas. I get 25 mpg in my 2003 Buick.
