I don't know why more pilots don't do this.

I don't know what you are flying, but with the planes I fly, full tanks
aren't an option unless I want to fly alone.

It should be obvious that I wasn't suggesting that anyone overload their
aircraft.

No, but you were wondering why more pilots don't "ALWAYS refuel after
every flight, so that [they] always have full tanks," which is a silly
practice unless one ALWAYS knows the next flight will require full tanks.
At my old club, members were asked NOT to fill the tanks after using the
airplanes, so that the next pilot could add fuel appropriate to his
flight.

To be specific, my concern is that I see many pilots who don't carry more
fuel when they could and within reason. OK?
