I dont think Ive ever not brimmed the tank, Im not queueing and paying twice, 1 trip, fill it, do it all again when empty.  never seen the point of, 'ill chuck a tenner in' sod that for a game of soldiers.

Yeah,
When i was poorer.....(not that i'm not poor now)
All i could do was chuck a tenner in here and there as a way of managing how much money i had in the day to day, by chucking £50 in (thren, more like £100 now), i wouldn't be able to buy something else cos that money was tied up in petrol i hadnt used yet.

only chucking in a bit has its uses for some people.
And also, makes car weigh less, so technically more efficient....just a thought.

At current prices it must be very close to costing £100 to fill an Omega tank from empty. Iirc its just under 134p per litre which tales it to the £100 per tank mark.
My first car cost £70 to buy - and I believe it had a full tank of petrol when I bought it. :(

I do, but only to get to a cheaper petrol station near home where it does always get brimmed.

money has been tight recently, so have been reduced to a tenner at a time top-ups - hardly moves the needle  :'( :'(

Same here, brim it every week, currently at a 1/4 tank which is rare...tis only because I had a day off today and went, with the family, to Hartlepool, so wrong direction to fill up at Tesco and use my 5ppl coupon...... :D :D :D

I have been banging on about this for weeks now! ::) ::) ;D ;D ;D

Although it seems very few on here believed me, ESSO unleaded has made my V6 much quieter, and when I first fully filled up with this fuel a slight tapping noise I had using supermarket fuel disappeared within about 20 minutes and has not returned.   

As Glenny Boy states the engine is noticeable smoother, has more power and the MPG has improved, only only slightly; by 1.5 mpg! 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) ;) ;)

ESSO garages around here have the unleaded at the same price as everywhere, so it has made every sense to stay with it.  I intend to anyway as it is reallybetter!!!! 8-) 8-) 8-) :D :D :D :D :D :D ;)

I do agree Lizzie. Mine is so much better with it. Supermarket fuel not only made it tap, it also upset the knock sensors and put the emissions light on  :y

To cap it all, Tesco is 1p dearer  ;D
