    I was curious to know how long you guys wait to fill up your gas tanks. Do you wait until you are on E and then fill it up all the way . . . or just put like a couple of bucks in . . . or do you try to keep it full all the time? Me- I usually drive it til it's on E and then I fill it up all the way.

    I have been told that it is not good to wait until it's on E to fill your tank. Any sediment on the bottom of your tank will be flushed into the engine.

    I wait until it's close to E before filling up the gas tank. I haven't had to make any such decisions because I haven't driven since October, and I don't know the next time I'm gonna drive.

    I usually go to the point where my car has to run on my hopes and dreams just to make it to the gas station. ;)
