    about 1k (about a half tank) every week.

    How many days does a full tank/half tank usually last everyone?

    Less trips to the gas station also means a little saving. Plus I read somewhere it avoids rust forming in the tank since there will be less area for condensation to form in case di masyado ang gamit ng car.

    All in all, I'd say fill it up if you can afford it, but never over-fill. Pag automatic na, stop na dahil mag-eexpand pa naman yung gas.

    Kung nagfi-fill up naman ako, I don't add more fuel until 1/4 or 1/6 na yung gauge para balanced.

    ako kalimitan P1000 every week pakarga ko sa shell sa may rizal provincial hospital. sakto yun sa isang linggong gamit. route ko is sikatuna village, qc to fti complex and vice-versa.

    tipid sa oras at byahe pag isang kargahan lang.

    pag pupunta sa probinsiya always full tank bago lumakad.

    Hi All!

    Full tank whenever possible.

    It actaully comes out cheaper.

    Another benefit, it it can be called that, is that there will be little to no condensation that can form that in turn, creates corrosion.

    Once corrosion forms, you get holes in your fuel tank and rust + contaminants blocking your fuel filter or directly into the engine.

    Hope this helps.

    :regards:

    Everyday Full Tank.

    I spend half tank every day, travelling an ave. of 300++ kms/per day. The following day, drop by the station for refuelling again.

    allotment ko for gas is 1,200.00 every payday... that makes it almost full tank... i notice kasi na mabilis bumaba ung gauge if you just fill up ng pakonti konti.

    just in case you're interested to know the weight of fuel in your tank, i'm using the following figure to calculate the weight of diesel in my tank. i also included the figure for gasoline. these are average values only.

    diesel: 0.835 kilogram/liter

    gasoline: 0.735 kilogram/liter

    example:
    for my 65-liter capacity diesel tank, the weight of a full tank equates to 54.275 kilos or around 119 pounds, equivalent to the weight of an adult but petite female.

    if i fill it up to 1/2 tank, i'll be carrying 60 pounds less, more or less the equivalent weight of a small teen-ager.

    Full tank for less hassle since it's my daily driver. For the family van, if I end up using it and have to gas up, eh depende sa lakad. Hehehe!

    sa akin, a full tank goes for a week, around 300-310 kms...

    From full tank, it takes 5-6 days of regular commute (more or less 70kms. daily round trip) to reach half.
