Each to his/her own. I typically fillup from 1/4 to 3/4 tank because I did that before Ecomodder. You can interpret the "Eco" in Ecomodder based on your own world view. You can see it as Economic (save money) or Ecological (save the planet) or both. What I think is true for most people is that once you have established your "pattern", that is what you like to keep doing. For instance, I think I have a pretty good handle on my "tank to tank" trends because I am filling up every "X" number of miles.

In the short term I'm not worried about the price of gas because that is outside my control. Now, if *everyone* was doing what we are doing here on Ecomodder, we would have an effect because we would be driving down demand at the macro level.
