When the gas guage reads less than a quarter of a tank, the car seems sluggish. This seems a bit odd as the car should be about 100 lbs. lighter without all the fuel in the tank.

I was just thinking about one such mystery today. Sometimes when I press the gas in my jeep it seems like I get more power per inch pressed down. Other times it seems like I have to press it further to get the same power. It's never a problem. I just notice it. Maybe it's all in my head.

I have a bad habit of running over animals in my Focus. I have hit 4 cats, 2 dogs, a possum, and a turtle ever since I got it about 2 and a half months ago.
Focus is to animals as GTP is to morons. They just attract.

With some cars going under 1/4 tank is a bad idea.
The fuel pump in the tank is cooled by being under all that gasoline.
If it isn't under the gas it'll burn out the pump. And at 1/4 or less the pump is not under the gas.
A true ***** to fix. Don't ask me how I know.
Ethix, that feeling that you're getting better mileage with the tank near full, isn't a fluke.
Both of my old Pontiacs went thru fuel slower from "full" to "half", and then flew from half to empty.
Of course, with my old T-Bird, it just flat went thru fuel like there was no tomorrow. (9 mpg).
