How much fuel do you prefer to carry?

One more time, there is no black and white, cut and dried "method".
Many excellent pilots seem to have methods for doing everything when
they fly. The more methodical they are, the safer they tend to be (and
this is not limited to aviation). I was wondering what their methods
might be. There are regulatory requirements, but beyond that there
are many other factors to consider, as pointed out already, and I was
wondering exactly how pilots take these into account. There's
obviously a practical threshold between trying to consider every
possible detail and just flipping a coin (or not thinking about fuel
at all).
I'm sure a few pilots prefer trial and error or guesstimates or simple
negligence when working with fuel, but they are headed for the NTSB
database and learning bad habits doesn't seem very instructive to me.
Anthony, you're question HAS been answered here. Your just too ****ing
stupid to understand it.
