transat Rookie Author Illinois Posts:38 Points:1,750 Joined:Jul 2008	Message Posted: Jul 12, 2008 7:33:25 PM Ignore transat Report Abuse I always fill up, with two exceptions: 1. Price is really high--then I will put in $5 to get to another station with a good price 2. Gas is wrong octane (one car requires premium) or I've had bad experience at that station (engine knock, water in the gas, or whatever)--then I will put in $5 to get to another station with good gas
Kitleigh Rookie Author Florida Posts:44 Points:27,380 Joined:Jun 2008	Message Posted: Jul 9, 2008 12:14:23 AM Ignore Kitleigh Report Abuse Financial reason - i.e., if need to buy gas falls at low-balance time of the month. Now that hurricane season is here, I need to keep at least 1/2 tank full. I've been letting it get down to 1/4, occasionally less. I used to enjoy hurricanes; but Hurricane Floyd in 1999 and Charlie, Frances, & Jean in 2004 changed all that. As a child I thought it was fun to watch rolls of pool screens bounce down the street. Now I know what that costs in $ and emotions, even if the screen can be reused. I finally learned that we lived in Ft. Lauderdale during MILD hurricane years - mostly what would now be called level 1 or 2 'canes. We had one level 3 that blew a coconut straight across at least 2 blocks and hit the edge of our roof. Let's hope & pray this turns out to be a mild year for us also.
