one only consumes 1 GPH has it drawbacks.

Fuel polishing is probably an issue, mostly ignored by sailors until it's
clogged the injectors or at least the filters. It always disturbs me how
so many sailors will just leave the tanks half empty all the time, instead
of topping them off before docking. Being down a gallon or two is probably
ok, but the condensation in a half-empty fuel tank of any size is just
awful here in Charleston.

It's just laziness. All those that have half empty fuel tanks all have
plenty of money to fill them.
