It is beneficial to fill your tank once it gets to 1/4 full. There are two reasons for this. Air contains moisture the more air in the fuel tank the more moisture in the fuel tank. Secondly the fuel pump uses the fuel to help cool itself. The less fuel the more chance the fuel pump will overheat which will shorten it's life.

If the gas isn't leaking while the engine is running and you have half a tank, then the problem is with the fuel tank itself. You either have a hole in the upper half of the tank, or the gasket for your fuel sending unit is leaking.

How many gallons to the mile for a 97 ford escort?

Fill up your gas tank, drive for 1/2 tank. Refill your gas tank, and take the amount of gallons put in and divide it by the miles driven on that half tank. This will give you your average MPG. Example: I just drove for 125 miles, now i am at a half tank. When I'm done putting gas in, i write down that it took 5.43 gallons to fill. I divide 125 by 5.43 and get 23mpg.
