At what level do you fill your car's fuel tank?

Technically it is when the gas light comes on, which is probably closer to 1/8. But I rarely am further than a couple of miles from a gas station, and my daily commute is shorter than the amount of gas left if I can't fill right away, as I can do it the next trip. Your "at what level" question is vague--I go seek a gas station at empty, and fill to full. Who refills their tank at full?

When on road trips I keep a closer eye on it. I have never run out of gas enough to stall.

And because my driving is very predictable, I tend to go empty about once every two weeks, and so I get a car wash at the same time at one of those drive-through washes, which is only $3 with gas. When I have to fill at a different gas station, my dusty car bugs me.

How would you clarify the question? I mean to ask what level the respondent decides to refill the tank.

It was clear to me, but then someone responded "Full" on the poll and that threw me.

I figured someone might going around keeping their tank topped off all the time, so I thought I'd give them the option.

I don't know that that's what they meant, but maybe it was?

Thanks for the clarification!
