At highway speeds, the difference between a full tank of fuel and an empty one would be so negligable it would not be able to be measured.

Now if only Rudd or Abbott would cut fuel by half, I'd vote for that.
Vote 1 UK I promise to bring back 14c a litre..... UK The comment above is a party political promise and does not really count under any circumstances....

Try this on as a counter argument - every time you slow down or speed up in a V8, you use more fuel than simply cruising at a nice even 60, 80 or 100. So by filling up with fuel more regularly, you are actually wasting any perceived savings by having to accelerate to get up to speed again! ![]() OMG - I actually don't even know why I bothered replying - but I've typed it now so might as well hit "submit reply".

"Half a tank weighs about 45kg (How do I work that out - the tank has a base weight). in a 21600kg car, the difference to perfomrnace is minute."
I'm sure you would feel the difference in a car that weighs THAT much ![]() cheers, Maka

JC - what an absolutely extraordinary post, I'm afraid I can't, and won't take your responses remotely seriously whilst uttering that sort of misleading twaddle.

Boys lets place nice, remember my main comment was the number of years since I had to pay petrol prices over LPG. It would be an interested thread if someone would like to start it on their top tips to make our petrol cars go further. In th eman time I'm getting ready for fathers day and to see what car vouchers I get, I want to go shoping!!

14c a litre...Just imagine how many stroked V8's would be on the road as daily drivers, It would be brilliant.
