Evening (or Morning) CivicX peeps,
So, I am a bit OCD and I never let my gas tank fall below half empty. Usually I fill it up sooner, actually.
Part of it is due to concern for freezing gas lines in the Winter and part of it is the whole "be prepared if you have to take off ASAP and don't have time to gas up" scenario. Granted the former is more likely to be an occurrence than the latter but you get the point.
Anyway, I am wondering, is it detrimental in any way to not run the tank out to almost empty at least some of the time? A long time ago someone who knows pretty much nothing about cars said you don't want old gas sitting in there forever if you keep topping it off. But, does gas not mix up constantly when the car is in use?
