As a driver, you know that gas prices fluctuate, and mostly not in our favor. So, we will wait until prices go down or we get an empty signal from our vehicle.
But is this actually healthy for our automobiles?
How Often Should You Fill Your Gas Tank?
Although it may be more convenient to wait for a price drop or it may seem better to use up the gas already paid for than to top off from gas already used. It is not always in the best interest of your vehicle.
How To Better Treat Your Car Using Your Gas Tank
You should always fill your gas tank to full, not half, as you essentially do not want to treat your vehicle as though it has a smaller tank then it actually does.
Further more, do not wait until your tank is on empty prior to filling it up again. Once it hits half a tank, fill the vehicle again.
This not only prevents condensation getting into your gas tank from humidity in the summer and winter, it too will help you out when you are in a pinch and do not have money for gas.
This way you keep moisture out and money in your pocket when it comes to how often you should fill your gas tank.
