When to change fuel filter?

I really don't remember when I changed my fuel filter last. Opps..
How long do you go between filter changes? I think mine has 25,000 to 30,000 miles on it. Is that to many? What fuel filter do you guys use? Thanks.

Ac Delco, or Wix is fine, I personal use ac delco, and plan to change every 10-20k miles.

I got my car with 100k on it still with the original filter it wasnt dirty but I swapped it out with ac delco. I'd say around every 20-30k. I think the car manual even says in the back.

They're too damn cheap and easy to not change them every 10,000 miles.

I change mine every summer. They don't cost much and it's about a 15 minute job.
