How else are you going to calculate your MPG to know if you have a lead foot or not? Just wondering because there isn't really any other good way to figure out efficiency without a full tank.

I've figured out the 3 stations that consistently offer the lowest gas prices and keep an eye on them throughout the week. I typically buy gas every Friday because it means that my tank is never near empty (no worrying about making it to a pump) and it allows me to have a consistent weekly budget item. Yet, when prices get up really high, I'll often skip a week in hopes of a better price. It's not a common thing, but I've found that waiting a week often pays off if the price is high enough.
