It's always a good idea to have keep a full tank of gas in your car. In case of a family emergency in the middle of the night, you don't want to run out of gas right in the middle of it and have to search for an open gas station. Also, if the electricity is off in your area, the gas pumps won't be able to work. One of our church members found this out, not long ago, in a citywide power outage. She needed gas and not one gas station was able to allow her to buy, the pumps won't run without electricity. Always be prepared.

I agree with your tip about having a full tank of gas. Out of neccessity, as we live in a rural area and most gas stations close at night, I have renamed my "1/2 tank level" of gas to my "empty" level. This allows for always having enough gas to at least get to a larger town for emergency hospital calls, etc., and I don't have to make late night, often times scary stops, at gas stations.
