I fill up $25 or $30 everytime (which is usually a bit under half a tank).
It just seems to get me better gas mileage than when it's full.
Not that this is a true fact, but I guess subconsciously knowing that I have not much fuel left, i'll tend to ease off the gas pedal LOL.

1/2 tank (10 gallons) of fuel represents less than 2% of the total weight of your car.
Do you really think that will have a measureable afect on fuel economy?
