Depends how lazy I am I'll either fill up around 1/4 tank or so. Normally when I get lazy it's around 15.5-16.2 gals to fill up. Surprised it was only 15 on the nose today and that was topping off

I usually filled to 1/2 tank and stopped at 1/16th. With my 12-14mpg and a 25 mile commute each way through the mountains to work, I'm sure that half-empty tank made some sort of a weight difference over time.

My dad gets free gas with the company car so he doesn't have to pay for gas... My parents shop at giant eagle for the family and will use the fuel perks to fill up my xj and 3 5 gallon tanks for free.. once I'm low ill just dump the gas from the 3 tanks in and I'm all set... I personally haven't had to pay for gas in a few months because of this

I've noticed when I fill up to much too often it messes with the overhead mpg. Idk could just be me
