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.

It doesn't need park distance control, and hates decadence. It is musclepacked, yet lightly wound. It lets you feel the asphalt and get you going with the smallest touch of the pedal. It provokes, seduces, and demands to be driven hard. It looks, sounds, and smells like performance.
