Fill her up or set amount?

[Ozric-Al]

Just out of interest, how many of you: -

1 - Always fill the tank whatever it costs?
2 - Put in a set amount each time and how much (e.g. a tenner)?;
3 - Pay at the pump with a card?
4 - Pay in the kiosk with a card?
5 - Pay in the kiosk with cash but would pay at the pump if it took cash?

Would appreciate as many answers as possible for a project I may be working on.

I used to always fill the Stilo up with a set amount - say £30 or so BUT the Ulysse was always brimmed - £90+ or so :chin: - always paid in kiosk with my card.

Now I have the Panda, I always fill it up to the top, but still pay in the kiosk with my card.

 

[tozzleozzle]

ahh yes this is a good topic.

I always used to put 20ltrs in came to about 19.50 or supthing and continued until it got to about 1.10 but now its 1.15 i try to get as nere to 19ltrs as i can, ****ing sucks

and i pay at the till

Fill her right up - pay at pump

When I got her, she cost me £40-£45 for a full tank, now it's costing me £55

fill right up in punto and go pay the man in shop

put £5 in panda an pay lady in a box,

 

[Rockbottom]

I fill the tank half up so go by litres rather than price, I can't go by price because the price keeps increasing. :bang: :bang:

And I pay by card in the kiosk.

 

[johnstoke]

depends which side of payday. or where im going, if Im going away for the weekend, or a good run out (stoke to devon and back in a day isnt uncommon for me), i will fill my car up, but usually it's £20 or£30 i put in. Prefer to pay at pump with card, but if not I pay with cash inside, or card inside depending on the station (more likely to use card at a supermarket station than a late night garage)

I always fill mine up it's the best way for me. I find a full tank always lasts about 8/9 days.

Now its costing me about £50 to fill up

Pay with card

Pay at the kiosk so i can claim my shell reward points

What's the project you may be working on?

 

[tozzleozzle]

i never fill to the top, only half way (20ltrs) cos think about it 40ltrs of juice is heavy! not as good mpg

 

[Most Easterly Pandas]

I fill up to the brim, otherwise my MPG chart on the PC dosen't work properly.

Pay inside with card, unless I have cash but don't as I usually always use card's. I never pay at pump because they give stupid little recepts. Prefer the ones from the tills, as it give all the information needed for my MPG chart again.

Oh, I would also like to point out that I can't pay at the pump - the service is there, but seems to have been shut for the past year at least, and always says 'pay in kiosk'.

In addition, I don't carry my Tesco Clubcard with me - only the keyfob - so how would this work at the pump? Just find it easier to go in, plus I need a valid VAT receipt, guaranteed to be gotten when inside and not have 'paper out issues'.

I use the 'ignorence is bliss' approach as I daren't fill it up I just stop when i get bored or pissed off whatever comes first .

£50 to fill a goddamn petrol punto what is the world comming too :bang::bang: .

 

[Chas Uno]

I always used to fill up in units of £5 with my Uno 45S, but since the prices started to rise that got upped to £10. Now with the prices going up every week I fill up to the brim when the tank goes down to 3/4 or 1/2. My reasoning is that it's better to fill up now before the next price increase...

Oh, I always use a debit card and use 'Pay at Pump' if it is available. I don't need a receipt so just want to get it over and done with as quickly as possible rather than queuing up with the great unwashed

I know, £37 in the Panda last night, and £39 the week before with £15 inbetween. Who said being a student was cheap, although I was paid to drive someone to Gatwick

 

[JFL]

depends on the circumstance sometimes

if im with my mum or my gran taking them places they sometimes give me £10/£20 so i will usually put that amount in the car

if im feeling quite poor towards the end of the month, i will put in whatever i can afford (sometimes as little as £5 )

usually though i just brim the tank to the max, and then let it run t just before red, which is about £55 to fill up

and as long as that lasts me a good 500 miles, i go through about 2 and a half tanks a month or so

although driving to these events is making it more like 3 or 4 :devil:

 

[AppleSei]

Im only using half a tank per week so filling to top but it used to be a set amount

 

[Most Easterly Pandas]

Does anyone put silly amounts like £2 in?

I work at a petrol station, and you see a few, I personally find it a chore to fill up with big ammounts, let alone doing it for only £2.

And some of these people have Astra's etc, not Mopeds lol.

 

[SeicentoS]

I always put 35 quid in, and pay in kiosk with card

dont think you are allowed to put those kind of a mounts in, think you have to put a minimum amount of litres in rather than minimum cash.

Even 50cc mopeds tanks are bigger than £2

only if its a courtesy car
