Actually it rarely gets less than half full as even at $2.25 per gallon, it's a chunk to refill. I did ask the tech if there was something that could have been done to prevent this early demise and he said no, not really Sometimes it happens he says but rarely this soon.
Again, better near home than somewhere in BFE.
