Easier said than done. When IMC, getting unexpected vectors and maybe a

Stuff happens -- you miss your approach, etc.

I was taught to use the phrase "minimum fuel" if it appeared that holds
and/or additional vectors might make me concerned about remaining fuel,
whether it be a set "bingo" reserve or some other amount.

Wouldn't this be preferable to simply accepting the vectors and holds?
