Oil price

[PAH]

Use Andy McNabb's advice - always keep the tank filled up at all times. You don't want to be pursuing players and worrying about low fuel.

I'll bear that in mind when I'm next on holiday in Afghanistan.

I thought it would be more than that seeing as how heavy bottles of water are when lumping them back to the hotel on holiday.

Water is denser than fuel & oil etc. That's why oil slicks rest on the top of the sea surface and why salad dressings need shaking before you open them

I don't understand why people fill up for a week's driving. They're paying extra in reduced fuel economy due to the weight just because they're too lazy to fill up a bit more often.

That's why I only put a few litres in the tank each time I pass the petrol station that's on my route, then fill a couple of 5 litre cans in the boot for emergencies.

Perhaps if you filled your tank properly you wouldn't find yourself in those emergencies.
I generally keep mine full, in a REAL emergency, I'd rather have a full tank than have to detour to the 24 hour petrol station whilst en-route to the hospital/parents house/nuclear bunker

McNabb's theory to a tee.

More so if driving a 'performance car' where every extra kilo hurts.

That's why I only put a few litres in the tank each time I pass the petrol station that's on my route, then fill a couple of 5 litre cans in the boot for emergencies.

So you 'save' money by putting less weight in the tank and more in the boot?
