Yep, still cheap, currently $2.50 a gallon.

We went up Route 101 from San Francisco to Seattle nine years ago. A big Chevvy, cheap fuel, and excellent rock music on the FM. Oregon was just wonderful. Unfortunately, all the driving and motel nights took their toll. I put on 6kg of junk food fat in nine days.

Great fun though.

Yes, and I reformed.

Bravo @Drago . You did the right thing. And bleating on about diesel and particulate pollution is also the right thing to do. I'm not sure, though, how 'green' it is to ditch my current car (diesel) and buy another car (petrol).

Fill to the top every time. Nearest fuel staion on way to work is 32km so basically needs filled when light comes on.

My next vehicle will be diesel as we intend pulling a caravan. Just dont have the budget to run a big petrol engine for the distances required here.

Guys, please do not overfill in this hot weather.

If you have a Smart Fortwo, do not mistake the air filter inlet for the fuel filler.

On mine the words NO FUEL are the giveaway.

Always to full, and then as close to empty as I dare. My time is far too valuable to be wasted queuing for petrol stations 5 or 6 times more often than needed (based on those that put in £10 worth when a tank might take around £60 for a full fill-up). You might suggest that queuing is an exaggeration but it isn't. Since the supermarkets have effectively strangled the petrol station trade, now only the biggest, super stations exist in ever less frequent locations and these serve such large areas that there are often queues to get to the pumps. The petrol companies/supermarkets love it this way as their expensive facility is now at close to 100% utilisation for a large part of the trading hours.
Of course they might not be so crowded if there weren't so many people popping in to stick £5-10 of fuel in their tank every day......

Nice trolling

In other news, fill it all the way up. EVAP system takes care of expansion

Always fill it up - stopping at the garage is a pain, so why do it more often then you need to ? Luckily the car has a 75 l tank so whilst filling up takes time it does last for a fair while once done.

My fuel consumption is not very good at the moment.I am only getting around 8 miles per latte.Just not good enough.

You're stopping to refuel every 30 minutes? That's shocking.....

I am pretty sure there are some if not many cars still on the roads without evap fitted.

I bought the car long before the emissions scandal became common knowledge, and believe the most environmentally friendly option would be to keep it until it collapses.
I'm beginning to regret saying that last bit, it's going in for a funny noise investigation tomorrow.

That post turned out to be eerily prophetic, I just filled the tank to the brim yesterday and today they tell me that to repair that funny noise will cost £900 but they could give me £1000 against a replacement.
Decisions decisions

My bus - fill it every time. I can think of many things to do better than waiting in queues to fill it up. Especially my wifes Zoe just plugs into the house and can be filled whilst sat in the garden. It made me realise just how much I dislike visits to the petrol station.
