You have never had a hooker approach you?
NO one asked you for a $1 to "get home" ?
Never experienced a loud obnoxious vehicle with tons of smoke coming from the owner/operator ?

I must live on the moon then.
Nein.

Where are you getting gas, mang?

That sounds like if I were to go into Trenton to the corner mart. I'd also probably get jacked/shot.
Wherever top tier gas is cheapest when I need it within 1 mile of my route ? :iono:

Paying a few cents/gallon more to not deal with the scum of society is worth it to me. :iono:

That would mean going out of my way and "planning" to get gas. I don't "plan" on getting gas unless I have sub 50 miles range left. Maybe California has more bums then, but they are a normal occurrence at "nice" gas stations as well.

Wow, strange. I do plan on getting gas, :doe: I'll take a different route when heading home to hit up a preferred station.

You probably do have more bums :doe: They all freeze to death in MI so they're concentrated to downtown where you'll get carjacked if you get gas anyway.

I never go below 1/2 tank.

Meanwhile the wife runs it down to 0 miles on the range.

:facepalm:
Never go below 1/2 tank ? :wtf: why? I have never gotten it above 1/4 tank...

Light came on last night, I cringed. I usually let it drop below a quarter tank and then fill up, when I have a normal commute.

Weird I have never been concerned about carjackings though. The bums/hookers are degenerate weaklings, they are not armed or mentally with it. So they don't pose a threat for that, just a nuisance.

NO WAY IN FKING HELL would I get gas in East Oakland, like I did that out of pure necessity once and it was one of the scariest experiences ever. That's where :mahtroy: 's roam the streets and shit gets real fast...
The gas station attendants are behind 3" thick bulletproof glass, also... same applies to dominos pizza places :( don't ask me how i Know.

Why not?

I also do about 36 miles a week of commuting, so a half tank lasts me a while.

But in all seriousness, in-tank pumps are cooled by the fuel they sit in, so if you run your tank low often enough, you do shorten the lifespan of the fuel pump.

Also, if I need to GTFO and go somewhere quickly, I don't want to be caught with my pants down with an empty tank. :caspian:
All :dat:

Because it is a giant waste of time? You spend 2x the time at gas stations as you need to. The pump is cooled by 2-3 gallons, running on fumes is bad but 1/2 a tank is excessive.

I've heard that carjackings aren't as prominent here as they used to be, but when I moved here in 2013, they happened all the time. I just figured out where and have written off those areas. I don't even drive there.

The bums hang out at those stations too.
