Generally, I'm a fill-at-half-tank. I don't like running it lower on gas.

When I buy Gas, I look at it from an investment standpoint. If I think it will go lower, i'll wait until the fuel-light comes on. If I think it's going higher, I'll fill a little more often, maybe around half a tank. And no, you aren't doing any damage by running it down to when the light comes on, you still have around two gallons of gas on most cars.

I changed the air filter earlier in the day. Apparently I didn't plug it in correctly.
