I prefer to spend most time behind the wheel rather than in a filling station so I fill to the brim when the fuel alarm sounds.

That way I cut down time spent on forecourts.

Huh? In the UK there are fuel stops everywhere.

What I mean is I want to do other things rather than be in a filling station.

That's why I fill up from alarm to brim.

To use my time otherwise.

I always just fill it up all the way and then drive it till i'm i have a range of about 30 to 60 left and then I fill up. For everyday driving it wont matter "that much" and like said... i dont want to be at the filling station every 2 days. every 4 days is bad enough.

You said there weren't many fuel stations in Warwick. There are.

Is there a point you're trying to make about fuel availability in the UK or some other point?

And... what's the point anyway?

Does anybody really care?

Oh, and FYI there is a choice of Shell Fuel stations within 2 minutes of Warwick town centre.
