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 --------------------  |

^^ i beg to differ...most dont ask u to have fuel cells in street classes so the track asks you not to run with more than 1/4 tank so incase ur car flips or something u dont have alot of gas! my dad use to race cars and thats what he said
