I try to always keep the gas tank more full than empty. (Well, except during a road trip - then it gets filled up when rational, and topped off after the trip. I do try to keep at least a small reserve at all times.) It's a preparedness thing. So I fill up at least once every week, more often if I do anything more than the minimum (work & groceries) amount of driving. I don't think it's such a big thing to swing by a gasoline station, and it's going to cost you just as much whether you fill up half a tank once a week or the whole tank twice a month. Might as well keep the tank full. That way you'll always have at least a full tank of gas in case there are problems with gasoline distribution, power, or whatever.

I still fill up every 4-5 days as the Patriot has about the same range as my old Dakota R/T, but I put in 10-11 gallons instead of 18-19 gallons now so huge improvement! When gas was high, it was a huge blessing to have half of the fuel bill.
Once a fortnight!? LOL...did Abe Lincoln make the poll?

Sometimes I fill twice a day. Something I recall from the days when I drove my old bad 1970 Cadillac around in High School. I could go the same distance on a fill, but the Cad has a 28 gallon tank.
If I'm at work in town I can go 2 weeks without filling. When I'm at home in the country once or twice a week is common. I can usually make the 354 mile commute on one tank. My(extreme) commute is done 3 times a month. Not daily.
I've noticed, requests for a larger Patriot fuel tank have waned.

About once a week. I like to keep it topped off.

All my driving is HWY, and I usually fill up at a half tank, since I never know when I'm going to be stuck in a traffic jam in a big city, or out in the middle of no where. so I may go through a couple fill ups a day, and then once a week once I get to where I'm going.

Once a week but that's our routine..it may or may not need very much gas, but we like to keep it topped off especially in the winter months.
