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 biggrin.gif 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
