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).

Fully following the regulatory requirements ensures the safety of the
flight.

Everything past that falls into catagories such as economics, convenience,
good will, etc.

Sometimes I buy fuel at an airport when I don't have any need to just
because the FBO has nice people and I want to help make sure they
stay in business.

Put that into your simulator "method" for fueling.
