If I see a great gas stop I use it if I'm anywhere near the half full mark.
We also never wait until we really, really need gas, generally once fuel gets to 1/4 tank we start watching for gas stations that look easy to enter/exit and reject ones that look pretty small or tight..
If you wait until the fuel light turns on then you may be forced to take then next station and it may not be accommodating for big RVs..
We would typically end up needing to short hop on fuel in places basically only getting 125-150 miles between fill ups to avoid desperation from setting in.
Now, we have added an extra 15 gallon landscaper tank in our truck bed and combine that with our newest truck having 34 gallon tank we have a range of 490 miles at 10 MPG towing, avoiding a lot of short fuel stops and hassles. :B
