\nThe following is by my understanding.<\/p>\n
\nI’ve recently become the main driver of a 2013 Jeep Patriot. It was around 3\/8 full of gas when I got it, then I let it get down to between 1\/4 and 1\/8 tank, then put thirty dollars in the tank. (Old-school, 80s behaviour:) That amount put the fuel level to about half full.<\/p>\n
\nI researched the fuel capacity, which it turns out is 51L. At around two dollars per litre, therefore, a full fill-up, from empty, should cost around 102 dollars.\n<\/p>
\nI use the Jeep to drive around town doing errands; the fuel level drops gradually as days go by. Yesterday, with the fuel back down to just under 1\/4 tank, I realized I should refuel.<\/p>\n
\nI decided to pre-authorize 75 dollars, wondering what would happen. It actually took the whole 75 dollars.<\/p>\n
\nStarting the car back up, I looked at the fuel gauge: right at full. This was a coincidence: I’d just fueled it until the pump stopped pumping. It hadn’t stopped before 75 dollars, like pumps sometimes will when the tank is getting full.<\/p>\n
\nSo, one can see that at 102 dollars for a full tank (call it 100 for easy math), 75 dollars should be about 3\/4 of a tank, which was how it played out, given that the tank was 1\/4 full when I started refueling.<\/p>\n
