I seems to me that several here have forgotten how div fuel is calculated. Yes, going around at minima to divert is uncomfortable. A 'normal' diversion is not. However, you need to ask yourself WHY you commenced that approach in the first place.

Read how the-stranger handles it?

- mine too. How on earth do you find yourself anywhere near that? Are you flying a Citation? That is typically final reserve for a 737NG - and you STILL have 30 minutes. See above?
