    If work is only a 10 minute walk away then why are you not walking everyday.

    Oh I see what you mean!! :) Yes I understand that. So fill up less, but more often? :P

    And two nights a week I finish around 11pm-12am and now and again even finish at 3-4am. I don't want to walk home at that time alone, if I can avoid it.

    The cheapest one in town is only like 0.5 miles away, and on my way home from my friends (which i cannot walk too!!) and the second cheapest is where I do my 2 weekly shop ;)

    And Justin is more than welcome too, but that may be a bit impractical ;) :P

    Filling up less often is not worth it. You also won't be able to judge how much fuel you are using.

    Couldn't I just fill up half, and then see how many miles that is then double is for a full tank?

    Or is that me being too simple again? :P
