We analyze two z=0 data sets: a high-quality ~200 galaxy sample (the Nearby Field Galaxy Survey, data release herein) and a volume-limited ~3000 galaxy sample with reprocessed archival data. Both reach down to baryonic masses ~10^9^M_{sun}_ and span void-to-cluster environments. Two mass-dependent transitions are evident: (1) below the "gas-richness threshold" scale (V~125km/s), gas-dominated quasi-bulgeless Sd-Im galaxies become numerically dominant; while (2) above the "bimodality" scale (V~200km/s), gas-starved E/S0s become the norm. Notwithstanding these transitions, galaxy mass (or V as its proxy) is a poor predictor of gas-to-stellar mass ratio M_gas_/M_*_. Instead, M_gas_/M_*_ correlates well with the ratio of a galaxy's stellar mass formed in the last Gyr to its preexisting stellar mass, such that the two ratios have numerically similar values. This striking correspondence between past-averaged star formation and current gas richness implies routine refueling of star-forming galaxies on Gyr timescales. We argue that this refueling underlies the tight M_gas_/M_*_ versus color correlations often used to measure "photometric gas fractions." Furthermore, the threshold and bimodality scale transitions reflect mass-dependent demographic shifts between three refueling regimes--accretion-dominated, processing-dominated, and quenched. In this picture, gas-dominated dwarfs are explained not by inefficient star formation but by overwhelming gas accretion, which fuels stellar mass doubling in <~1Gyr. Moreover, moderately gas-rich bulged disks such as the Milky Way are transitional, becoming abundant only in the narrow range between the threshold and bimodality scales.2013ApJ...777...42Khttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/ApJ/777/42CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-toII/312 : GALEX-DR5 (GR5) sources from AIS and MIS (Bianchi+ 2011)VII/259 : 6dF galaxy survey final redshift release (Jones+, 2009)II/294 : The SDSS Photometric Catalog, Release 7 (Adelman-McCarthy+, 2009)VII/246 : GOODS Morphological Catalog (Bundy+, 2005)VII/237 : HYPERLEDA.
