What’s the point in filling/topping off at 1/2 a tank? It still cost the same and you have to go to the gas station twice. I get 11 to the gallon and fill up when it needs it 1/4 tank or less.

I,like having a full pantry, bank acct. , ammo box, and gas tank , gives me comfort . I,Iike knowing that no matter what happens I can jump in the Subaru and go hundreds of miles if need be .

Ask my sister how their trip home from fla was last year , when the hackers shut the pipelines down here, she too started off with a 1/4 tank,spent an extra night as my brother in law drove from empty station to  empty station   . I don’t mind stopping for gas every few days to,keep it topped it off . Ask those folks that spent a frozen night on I95 and ran out of gas trying to keep warm if filling up at 1/2 tank seems like a better plan .

In today’s world it seems prudent .

I agree , I can count on one hand the times my low fuel light has come on in my 40 + years of vehicle ownership . This was a rarity for me .

I get it on a road trip but not for local everyday driving. I can’t ever remember running out of fuel or even coming close. Even during super storm sandy I had enough fuel to get me through the shortage on Long Island. I can’t live like the sky is falling,I’m not really sure I’d want to if the sky fell anyway. To each his own.

Are you talking about me?.... I think I am saving a little bit. I don't go out of my way to do it so I'm ok with it.
