  after the red light comes up, I drive until the needle goes below the lowest marker and hit rock bottom before I top up. I don't waste petrol and like to squeeze every last drop out of a tank.

  depends on what car you drive because the petrol meter reading is different
  
  i will top up when red lights up. Because for my car, when the red light up, there are still 10litres of petrol in it. Still can tahan for about another 100km
  
  If for other cars, when red lights up, there are left 2-3litres in it. So they must top up petrol at 1/4tank

  anyway i don't pump until it reaches below 1/4. but below 1/4 liao i also wun purposely go petrol station will wait until i just nice pass by one. however, if it lights up already then will hafta go to a petrol station juz to pump. but then hmm when it lights up i actually still haf 20 litres left =/
  
  btw what will u do if you car dies say.. in the middle of the expressway due to run out of petrol? call for tow? run to nearest petrol station n buy petrol in jerry can and bring back? or wad?
  
  sg petrol stations allow sell in jerry can if car cant make it to the station btw but dun allow sell for u to keep.

  I pump when wife screams :"Like Hell I'm going to push the stupid car!!!" *Hit over the head with baseball bat*
  
  Actually if I'm driving the van I'll pump when it hits 1/4, but for the car as soon as the low light is lit it's "Off to the petrol cave!"

  best to pump full always as when the petrol tank goes down or low with fuel ( u know fuel very easily being changed to vapour which will then become gaseous state which will cause your tank to go lower when park under the sun ) so its best to pump full always..

  pump when the lights comes on. or juz before coming back from jb. can't stand driving with a full load of petrol sloshing around the fuel tank. specially when i'm taking corners
