That can start a big arguement on here about not driving. I had 200 miles the first day and over 5000, 6 months later. Cars are meant to be driven. I had to let that out but never let the fuel guage below 1/4 tank. It exposes the fuel pump which needs to be submerged to stay cool. It will burn out otherwise. Sure if your broke and need to get to the next payday but if you got the money fill it.

Hey Buckshot ...

If you're going to leave it sitting in the garage most of the time, it's best to fill up the tank. It's worse to have a 1/2 tank of less. It allows moisture to accumulate in the tank. I've always heard it is good to keep the tank filled if it's going to sit. When I spent a couple of years in RV service business, "keep the tank filled while it sits" was a credo we always told customers. I think it's good advice for any vehicle.
