, always fill up at 1/4 tank. To be honest, i filled up yesterday at 1 dot below the 1/2 mark on my gas guage. Gas was the cheapest it's been all year for my favorite one and only gas i've used in all of our family vehicles for about 15 years now Shell V-power, so i decided to go ahead and fill her up, since my girl Vanity is my weekend toy.

Haha I usually don't let it get under 3 dots but I was in a hurry after I left the gym. Won't happen again though.

I like to refill near half dots but I have had that 50 - 10 miles range warning, turn off a couple times as well, and still the car kept running. 18.2 gallons needed to refill.

I did just get AAM short tails installed not sure of the effect on my gas mileage yet. Haven't had them on long enough. They sound sick though I love them.
