Default When do you fill your gas tank?

The gas meter on my 05 ex is really off. At 100 miles I'll be at 3/4 of a tank, at 250 I'll be at less than 1/4. When i hit E, it's about 9.5 gallons to fill. But our cars have 13 gallons. So do you guys wait for the light? I don't trust the light by the way. If it doesn't come on for some reason, stranded.

My light normally comes on once it's used 9 gallons. I fill up when the light comes on, or at the end of the weekend. Whichever comes first.

I fill up before the weekend... weekends equal rise in gas prices. But lately I haven't been driving my car much do to almost $5 a gallon. Last time I pumped was 2 weeks ago and I'm at 3/4 a tank.

I fill up around a quater of a tank or right before the weekend. This is when I do most of my driving (as i am sure that most people do). Other than that, around a quarter of a tank...
