Oh, different cultures. To me, "fill up" means when the fuel gauge gets close to empty, you put some gas in. Not necessarily (or even that often) to fill the tank completely full. So for me, putting in $20 worth gets me to half or 3/4 full. Though there was one time during the recent price dip when I actually got about a quarter back in change :-)

Fuel pumps wear out? Well, I suppose if you've got a gas guzzler, the poor thing must struggle to move all that gas :-)
