Most often then not fuel always seems cheaper here locally than anywhere out of town so fill locally. But if I'm dragging the boat off to anywhere I'll fill the boat at my destination rather than dragging an extra 100 plus kg's of fuel onboard.

Watched the bloke in front of me fill his corolla 4wd wagon with $5 worth of petrol, being 2.5 litres. I shoved $10 worth of the same stuff, being 5 litres into a jerry can for my weedeater. Told my nephew about it and he said people in Perth do similar things to get them to the next day - being a cheap fuel day in Perth!

I was at the gas station a while back and saw a late model STI WRX being filled up with 91. Well $10 went in. Good way to show it's on tick.

If I'm desperate for petrol and they are overpriced I put $10 in and get more ate a different station, its not about penny pinching but the ones that charge to much can F themselves.

Know a bloke who travels 50km a day to work, and puts in $10 at a time. his reason being if the car gets knicked, or it blows up, he does not lose money, so he is often coming home with fuel light on. my god. I hate getting gas, so will only go in to completely fill the tank. Also watched another woman in Levin at the gas station the other day, crappy old Ford laser, young child in the back, and she had $20. Asked for ciggies which were $14.50 and then put $5.50 gas in the car. Astounded.

I asked the attendant if they purchased anything else expecting the answer to be fags! They didn't. My brother used to say I had a bad attitude! They say assumption is the mother of all f ups.

And $10 per week pay.

A fill up from dry in my car would cost about $190 so I don't tend to fill it! Also I need to add it all up for tax reasons each year so I put in a standard $90 each time to make the math easier.

That's standard behaviour, the idiots that buy those things haven't got much left after the HP and weekly insurance payments have gone out, the slot in the bonnet works like an ATM but the money flows in not out.

Yes, I will put just enough in to get to a competitively priced gas station.
I don't like sending the signal to the overpriced guys that its OK to clip me.

I like it when in pull in and see someone chuck 5 bucks fas in. They then buy a pack of smokes and a cigi lighter. Priorities are strong

probably a few out there who cant afford to just fill a car up if they're struggling. If I was ever that desperate, I reckon Id put it in a petrol can and tip it into the car later - Id feel like a muppet throwing a fiver into the car! .
Maybe its the day before pay day and thats all he had left?
