Buy a magnetic gauge that attaches to the side of your tank and it sure
eliminates the guessing. I think I got mine at Home Depot and it is
different than the link below but the idea is the same - I just "googled" to
get an example, I have not dealt with this vendor.

I pay for the volume I need but I also believe the gas station might have a
minimum flat charge but I have only ever taken an empty tank to them for
refill. An empty tank is easy to tell, it is real light and when you shake
it no fluid rolls inside it.
