Re: Full or Half Full Gas Tank
Simple arithmetic: figure gasoline at about 7 pounds/gallon. For
simplicity, figure you short the tank by 10 gallons - that's 70
pounds. Now take the loaded weight of the GC - say 4500 pounds just
for arguments sake - and you get a 1.6% difference in initial weight
vs a full tank - you'd have to drive a lot of miles to see any
difference at all, even if there was a direct correlation between
weight and gas mileage (there isn't). I figure my tank capacity is a
bit high and the loaded weight a bit low, so reality is that it's even
less of a factor than what I calculated.

I can tell you the weight of a friend going along for the ride on a
