What do people prefer doing......

Putting £40 in say every friday or filling up when needing to say £10 every other day??

What would be better in peoples opinion?? I tend to fill up every other day tbh.

I tend to fill the tank as much as you can get in + 2 extra clicks when I'm down to a quarter of a tank, hate not having a decent runs worth of petrol in the tank at any time

I fill it up when it runs out. I cant be arsed with the hassle of sticking a tenner in at a time. I only do that if im somehwere expensive but need fuel and know im going to end up somewhere cheaper.

sometimes i put a full tank in. other times i just put 20-30 quid in.

if you put a full tank in, you're just driving around with extra weight thus decreasing mpg

I always brim it; I hate having to break a journey by going to the petrol station - I go once a week; well about once every 8 days. It takes just as long to fill up as it does to put only £10 in but going 3/4 times instead of once is just hassle and extra time. The missus will only put £10 in though

£50 goes in when the light comes on, which is every 2 weeks-ish.
