I would fill up in little bits, but it pisses me right off having to keep going back to the petrol station.
It's depressing enough once a week

Always fill right up so it saves going back for a couple of weeks 
Only time I dont fill right up is if I am going on a track day or something and dont want it full.
Drives supercharged Tec with torque

Usually fill the car up unless it needs some and I haven't been paid yet
Bike costs about £15 from a nearly empty tank and will do 250 miles.
Usually try and round it up when filling the car though, I just get annoyed with all the random pennies otherwise
All I can say is what I have left has better last until next Friday - it's just gone under the first white line on the gauge

Fill it right up, then run it until the light comes on, then fill it up again. Unless it's the end of the month, then it gets £20 per time.
It's 60 litres from the red light to full, which is £72

I need to fill up my car for work no matter what, and my bike is for fun, if I don't fill it up with petrol it's pointless having it. If I have to sacrifice a bit of cash to enjoy myself it's worth it IMO

I have a whole excel sheet mate
I put in how much I get paid, it take off stuff like phone bill, loan etc, tells me what's left after that. I put in what I spend and it tells me how much will be left over before I get paid again, and there's a true/false field that tells me if I've gone over and am going to get overdrawn

Haven't filled my tank in about a year. Always £10 or £15, dunno why really. Always done it that way. I guess if someone nicks my car they ain't getting far.

Fair enough mate, I used Excel a lot in school/college so managed to work out (after a bit of trial and error  ) a budget sheet.
Earlier at the Screw Fix Direct shop I was writing down how much it added to so it didn't go too high

I fucking hate buying petrol so I do it as few times as I possibly can.

Don't fill up/Can't fill up. I used to stick £38 coz that'll fit the tank. I put £40 in on sat night, that got me 32.55L. So if it was £1 a Liter, i'll get an extra 60 miles to that same £40.
60 miles have been stolen!!!!!!!
