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....
it's true, i work for a trucking company and when it's really cold full tanks are a good thing... especially if there's an accident or white out... full tanks = heat & hazard lights...
i don't worry about it much in the summer, but in the winter, fuel whenever i get btwn 2/3 & 1/2 tank.. because you just never know... took me 4 hours to get home a night a couple years ago & the idiot light telling me i should have fueled up b4 i got on the pike came on... i was scared to death i wouldn't make it home... never again..
