I don't fill past the first auto shut-off anymore. I used to do it when I first started driving, but only to get to a nice even $20 or $40 so that I could use cash and not have to worry about change.
On the topic of extra range, sure it gets you more miles between fills, but if you plan ahead, you can avoid being caught in a bad situation. On road trips, I usually fill up whenever we need to use the restrooms or give the kids a break, maybe every 3-4 hours. Rarely will I ever have to stop just for gas. For daily driving, I start planning out when to refuel when I get to 1/4 tank, then I just budget an extra 10-15 mins for the next time I leave the house and fill up on the way to work/on the way home. Easy.
