I'm filling up my car _right now_ and it's not even down to quarter tank! See how this blog thing affects my life? I'm already wasting my time trying to save a stupid fuel filter who won't even thank me later...sheesh! Great. I’m filling up my car _right now_ and it’s not even down to quarter tank!

Yuck. Well, it’s a good thing you do all those things to your cars, since you drive domestic… Yuck.

Then you hear it a second time and you assume it to be as good as anything else you 'know'. I can't imagine how busy I'd be if I mentally challenged every assumption or recommendation I've heard. I've only used super or supreme in both our cars and I believe it to help in long term ownership. But then again, I don't _really_ know. I also check the air pressure in my tires weekly, to help on gas mileage. But then again, I don't _really_ know. There are lots of things I 'just do' because someone knowledgable said so. I change my oil every 3k miles, but some people swear by 5k, some 6k and others never change their oil. I also rotate my tires every oil change. I never change oil brands, ever. I put in stp treatment a few times per year. I always go to the same mechanic/shop. I keep all my receipts. I always buy Road Hazard on my tire purchases. I don't wash or detail my car very often. With as many preferences (or habits) as I have, anyone could find at least one that differs from their preferences or habits. What interests me is finding out the differences and then learning _why_.

That's not at all true. You should fill up at a quarter tank... At least, do it as a practice so you don't run out of gas. As for crap in your tank, use decent gas (I still use unleaded, not supreme or anything), but I am extremely anal about all of the services required on my car. My car is in impeccable shape, and I always keep a quarter tank or more in my car.... Dude, where DO you get this information? :-) Who told you that it is good for your car to run it low?
