I always hear people say that to manage a better fuel efficiency, one should not load too much weight onto a car!

i am just an average user, mostly town drive, weekdays to and from work total about 25-30 km per day.

my question is each time i refuel, should i fill to full, which from the low level light warning could take up to over 60 liters.

or should i perhaps go for half full and visit the pump more often? 30 liters could easily be 30kg of load? how much will this help in reducing the consumption?

More weight will have an effect on your fuel consumption but whether it is significant enough to start running your vehicle with a low tank of fuel is debatable. The best compromise will be to run your tank at half full and no lower than a quarter tank.
