I know I shouldn't do it as well but I'm bad about going all the way down to barely above 1/16 of a tank just to make it to the very end of the week. Gotta do what you gotta do sometimes. Plus where I fill up I can only get to once a week and its just so much cheaper to fill up then and a fill a gas can for other vehicles I drive to then at the local pumps that are 10 cents more.

Oh dear that sounds like a giant pain in the rear, I feel for you my friend. I hit it every Sunday normally but that's with no extra side trips. Anytime I do a side trip or two I end up having to use the local pumps for the car. The truck I can barely do my 4 day week in since I have a 50 mile round trip to work and back. Hence why it now sits and may or may not just get turned into a drag racing rig that's still street legal and can still be used to tow a bunch of crap when needed.
