How much weight does a full tank of gas add to our Celicas? Does it slow them down at all, or does it even weigh enough to matter?
I looked online & found a bunch of different answers for how much a gallon of gas weighs...some say 6.5lbs some say 8lbs. So I have no idea if a full tank adds 78lbs or 96lbs to our car. Someone help Maybe ill start driving around w/ only 2 - 3 gallons @ a time haha....(unless im on a road trip of course) Oh & if this is a repost..then oops -------------------- |

By adding weight to the gas tank you actually move the center of gravity lower and more toward the center of the car thus improving handling. I wouldn't know how to quantify the improvement but it could be significant given the added 100lbs.
