I generally carry at least 30 minutes additional fuel on top of the 30 minutes fixed fuel reserve for contingencies such as gear/flap problem on approach or go-around for whatever reason.

My boss, on the other hand, thinks unforeseen circumstances such as those are what the fixed fuel reserve is for.

Fortunately for the travelling public, my boss doesn't fly very often.
