What if you kept your tank near empty instead of near full and only bought gas on an as needed basis? If we all did that where would all that gas be instead of in our driveways? Back at the gas station or next step still at the refinery. If this is supply and demand driven as we are told this maybe an effective way to balance that supply and demand in our favor. This might be flawed logic but I'll let you guys decide.

So by your reasoning we should by gas by the gallon? Sure, so we have to make more trips to the gas station...a place none of us go unless we have to, by doing this we are WASTING gas by having to refill more oftern. You asked is your logic flawed? Yes it is. Not to mention the impact you have on your engine when running it near empty. Your gas tank has sedimentary impurities in it. By running on the ragged edge you will clog your filters, and injectors. I do not know how many of you know about EFI, but my other hobby is high horsepower Mustangs, and I mean 1,000RWHP turbo street and drag cars. THis is somthing I know quite a bit about. an EFI high pressure fuel system needs atleat a 1/8 tank to insure you do not run lean and have detonation problems. Bushes comment it the stupidest thing I have ever heard, he is truly a moron and I regret voting for him.
ANd no detonation does not mean what you think it is, Detonation sounds like marbles jingling around in your heads. Some call it pinging.
