…Running 2 jobs is running ragged, I know; running low once in a blue moon is just life, and probably not overly harmful. Now, running consistently low as an OCD hyper-miler, or worse doing so regularly out of laziness is really bad. Modern (and I mean new) cars just cannot take punishment or neglect like they used to, so my advice to anyone is to never run a fuel tank below a 1/4 tank, price hunting or no, just for longevity.

It goes to show that all of us can’t afford nice things…
