I've always filled my tank, because I'm sure whatever amount of gas I'm saving, miniscule as it may be, by not filling it all the way, I'd be wasting anyway, by having to wait in line at the gas station, turn the car off, restart the car, drive away from the station, stop, pull out onto the road, stop at the stop sign, sit and wait, pull into traffic, and go 10 feet to my house.

Its not worth it, IMO.
