Sorry but you still haven't made any sense, you might as well do the "buy only on certain days" method. If you really think that eliminating 90 pounds and making more frequent stops at the gas station is helping in any way you really have no concept of EFI fuel consumption. Do you turn your engine off when you fill up? Your supposed to, and guess what, your EFI has an enrichment starting sequence that will burn more fuel starting up then driving 2 miles, this is why you shouldn't turn of your car unless you plan on keeping it off . You didn't know that did you? In order to have this conversation, you have to have a measurable knowledge of how EFI systems burn fuel.
By filling up your tank and only driveing when nesessary, you will also avoid the sudden spikes in fuel cost, by visiting the gas station more frequently, you allow them to still trickle their product out on the market at the highest rate. THink of how many times it has spiked and dropped, by your logic, people will have to buy at the high end at some point due to running out during the height of the spike.

Driving around with the bare minimum in your tank is just not at all a good idea, if you cannot see that by what I have laid out then I cannot not explain it any simpler. Good luck
