[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1368017, member: 14668"] In my opinion, we should refuel our cars every night regardless of how many miles we happen to drive. Starting the day off with a full tank is a best practice that should be followed for several reasons. 1. I have been told by a mechanic that keeping the tank full prevents condensation buildup inside the tank. 2. We never know when a power outage, traffic accident etc will cause the pumps to be inoperable or empty, so refueling every night leaves us better prepared for an emergency that causes fuel to be unavailable the following day. 3. In my case at least, on two occasions I have wound up having to make an unplanned, emergency trip to the Portland airport, towing a pup trailer full of NDA volume that could not be processed at our building due to a power outage. This wound up being an 80 mile round trip and had I been forced to stop for fuel on the way I would have missed the outbound flight and over 300 pieces of NDA volume would have been service failures. Its probably a bit of the prepper in me, but I never allow my personal vehicles to get below half a tank and I don't leave the building in the morning without a full tank in my package car. [/QUOTE]
