Filling tank of gas...

Is it bad to fill the tank of gas to half full everytime and not fully all the time? Can it possibly affect anything?

No on all counts. Some will say it's bad to run your car all the way to empty because of particulates in the tank, but there is both a filter before the fuel pump and engine. Don't worry.

there are several filters in place in fuel system besides the obvious. Also no filling your tank half full instead of full will not effect anything.

I think more people are worried about not having the gas to cool the pump.
