I have another one of those does this work type questions for the group. I have been told not to fill up the tank all the way, like slightly above half a tank because it will save on gas because the car doesn't have to carry around the weight of the extra gallons. I am not sure if that is totally realistic but I thought I would ask. Does anyone really know if these helps?

Ok, let's say that you would save on gas by not filling the tank... but I am not willing to take the risk! I haven't use my car too much, only for local stuf. I filled up the last time when gas was 3,35.... less than a month ago. Today is 4.03! I'm happy I filled all the way up!

So if 100lb decreases your mpg by 2%, how much does a tank of fuel weigh?
