Now if you were only carrying around 5 gallons, you have just saved yourself more than 50 lbs. right there. Would you race with a 50lb bag of cement in your backseat? Probably not, but if you race with a full tank you are in essence doing that. Every little bit CAN make a difference, thats not to say that it necessarily will, but it could. | Makes sence. So it would be better to run at 1/4 of gas. |
