Razorjack Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 I run the tank to around 1/4 (I think, as my fuel gauge is broked ) then fill up each time. Makes it easier to track MPG, and I honestly can't be bothered to spend any more time than really necessary at the pumps. I don't really mind putting £80 in as opposed to 4x £20, as its all the same money at the end of the day, and even if the price fluctuates by 3 or 4p thats only about £2 difference on 60 odd litres. As for people paying on card in stations with card pumps - that confuses me too! Mind you, at my local Asda, the card pump lane is always the most clear one so it just means I don't have to queue as long. So that makes up for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arizona Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 I usually put £20 at a time in, but i remember the days when i used to put £2 in at a time for the trials bike and would get a good few journeys to work and back in the good ol' days Noticing people are def driving without too much right foot lately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
entropy Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 Used to be £20 now about £30-40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony-94 Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 Just a few years ago was managing on abour £20 a time which would last a week,(I live about 5 mins from work) now getting close to £30. The way I figure, unless you're planning a long trip, why carry the unnecessary weight of a full tank around - every little helps or something..

bigstring Posted March 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 (edited) I recon you could put £20 of fuel in and buy 100 fags and save your self time and money £5 every other day oh and ten fags usually Edited March 18, 2011 by bigstring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyper-wrap Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 Is it my imagination or does £40 of petrol last 3 times longer than £20 not twice as long???? Ive often thought this. :unsure: Oh and despite my above statement normally a tenner at a time coz im a tight arse This. I'm absolutely convinced the car uses less fuel when there's more in it. The mpg just seems MILES better (get it?) when the tanks full. Been like this with every car I've ever owned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lex_GTS Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Depends on a number of factors to be honest, if its colder i'll put more in. More bang for your buck, or so is my understanding of it. I put £10 in at the weekend because thats all I had on me and I don't trust any garages with my card at all... How much normally depends on how accurate I am, its the male mentality. Just £20.00..... whir whir whir £20.01 "Fine... £25 then" whir whir whir "£25.01" I will keep going until its bang on a number. I have brimmed the tank on a couple of occasions using this method.

Hahaha, i do that! Don't want the guy/gal at the checkout to see £20.01 and think: "hahaha, you missed £20.00, are you retarded? how hard is it to keep squeezing until it clicks past £19.99. You fail at life." Nope. I'd rather pay an extra $4.99. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
