Gas tank games... will they ever end?
Frank is right. Those of us who are older have kept a log book and calculated MPG for decades with each tank fill.


The only justification for a partial fill-up is either the aforementioned wooing of the station attendant, or not having enough $$$ to fill the tank. And if such marginal poverty is really the case, it won't get you very far with wooing the attendant, or other prospective dates.
