Question:
I hear it's better to refill your gastank at the halfway point (rather than at almost empty) because you'll get better gas mileage and the sediment at the bottom of the tank gets mixed around more so it's better for your engine. Is this true?

A winter time question about cars?
Really makes no difference, since the car is always in motion when it's running (usually) any sediment/rust/crud in the tank is going to be mixed into the fuel anyway. If your car has a pump in the tank, there's a filter on it to screen out impurities. Also, most in tank fuel pumps sit in their own little resevoir, so they're always immersed in gas, to keep them cool. One thing to be careful of, NEVER buy gas at a station when the tank truck is there filling the tanks. The reason is, when they're pumping gas into the underground tanks, it stirs the fuel in the tank, and you'll get more garbage in your fuel.Hi,I am locking for the fuel pump fuse; I find the relay, there is no 12V in the coi?
last part could be true. The main reason for doing it in the summer, is to keep moisture from forming in the tank. The second reason for doing it is so you always have gas in your car. even when you are out of cash.automatic transmission slips out of 4th gear, downshifts some of the time?
You don't want to get so low that any crud or water in the bottom of your tank gets onto the inlet filter so going real low is a poor idea. The other difficulty in waiting to the last minute is that sooner or later you will get stuck in gas-wasting traffic jams and that little bit of gas left may not get you through it.First off, NO that is not true. However, if you make a habit of running your tank below half especially below 1/4 the Fuel Pump will become overheated due to lack of cooling fluids and you also risk moisture condensation from all of the air inside the tank.

no the filter will remove all the sediment that gets in the line proper tune ups and changing the filter is the bestwhat does it mean when the check engine light comes on in a chevy malibu 2001?
Personally i think the main reason to keep it above half tank is to keep the sediment from being sucked up and also on the newer vehicles with an in-pump fuel tank the gas keeps the pump cool, and if you let it get too low and overheat the pump youll wear it out sooner.only1 thing that is better , you don't put a strain on your intank fuel pump. you have to take fuel to keep thet weight of the fuel going. not only paying once ,but twice for it. pay to haul it lol
How do i replace the block heater plug??
The last part yes. You'll wanna keep it full especially if you live very cold areas like Chicago. Moisture can form and then freeze and your lines can burst. Trust me, I know.it is true in a way your engine works more efficiently when the gas tank is full because you gas pump has to do less work and the fuel injectors don't clog as fast and spray better
Because of the way that alot of gas tanks are made (shape) it is a deception that you get better gas milage if its full or half. the ratio of gas to O2 is the same reguardless.
any wait shed from a vehicle give better gas mileage..
the same as a car that is carrying 4 ppl. takes more gas to run that with 2 ppl . i would be guessing @ the wait of gas around 65LP. per ten gal. so that's not much but i would be sure that any wait added would effect the gas mileage. but keep in mined it is bad to run it to low their is sediment in their but u would almost have to run out of gas for it to b a problem
OK, I can't find the article. Maybe you don't have to fill up at the half mark, but the article I'm looking for said that if the level gets low, you're mileage will decrease.
Brakes, bushings, etc on 98 Honda Civic?
Here's one good reason to fill up before you need it: If you see a low price now, grab it. When you really need gas, the price may or may not be the lowest that you've seen in recent weeks. Because your cost per gallon goes down, your cost per mile will go down. It's just another way of improving **your bottom line**, which is the goal, isn't it?

I've provided some links below. The first link shows how edmunds.com tested different methods that are said to improve mileage.
tyre sizes can someone tell me in inches the difference between 225-70-r16 and 235/60r/16?
Absolutely not. It makes no difference. There shouldn't be any sediment in your tank at all. If there is, you have much bigger problems than your fuel economy and aside from that if you have chunks of anything in your tank they would end up blocking fuel flow and cause fuel starvation in the engine and it would stall.More Questions & Answers ...
