How many miles on your fuel filter before a change?

Hi, I was wondering how many miles everybody is changing their fuel filters? I know a lot of it will depend on quality of fuel and location, however I would still like your opinions. I drive 300 miles a night (5-6 days a week) in my 93 and I also fill up at the same station. My truck is stock except a four inch exhaust and a afe filter. It averages between 20-22 mpg per tank with 265s

. Should I be able go 20,000 miles or 4 months safely on a fuel filter? Or do I need to change it every other month? I only use fleetguard filters.

Thanks Corey
