Default Re: Fill-up frequency

It varies, mostly by weekend activities (Which can account for a tremendous variance, 150 miles of extra driving to a scant 25 depending on what's going on). I answered 3 times a month, I figure I average 240 miles or so every week, so I end up filling up every other week, though I seldomly run to empty, due to other factors.

I've thought about asking a similar question/poll, since it seems that some of us put a lot of miles on our vehicles, while others seem to put far less on, and there's the multi-vehicle situations.

i checked my records, and i put down twice a month, though sometimes i fill up with a half tank left. in the winter i would rather run more with a full tank. or when i have a bad FE tank, i just want to ditch it and start over. like right now. when it's **** cold. when it's raining. in november. and going to snow soon. and 40 mph winds. again......

Best fill 66.7 MPG, best tank 801.5 miles
