When I fill is situational. I like to fill before long trips even if is only a couple of gallons, just part of my ritual like checking the oil and tire pressure. Also on long trips if I'm stopping for some other reason I may fill the tank if it is below half. A few years back on the way to see my son, he said if I get to a certain town and its after 10PM Sunday and need gas, fill there because you won't find open the rest of the way. Hurricane in the forecast fill and fill early. The last fill there was only about 1.2 gallon left. So like I said it varies.

But the one thing I do is fill the tank.
