Full tank of Gas? How much weight does it add, ...or does it make a difference? Options

[amysmojo]

How much weight does a full tank of gas add to our Celicas? Does it slow them down at all, or does it even weigh enough to matter?

I looked online & found a bunch of different answers for how much a gallon of gas weighs...some say 6.5lbs some say 8lbs. So I have no idea if a full tank adds 78lbs or 96lbs to our car. Someone help Maybe ill start driving around w/ only 2 - 3 gallons @ a time haha....(unless im on a road trip of course)

Oh & if this is a repost..then oops

ive never had an issue with that... maybe thats something they do with street mod drag cars, whenever ive been to a track and gone through tech ive never had an issue reguardless how much fuel ive had, then again im not an avid drag racer, but i asked a friend heres his answer:

K2MR2t91 (6:03:49 PM): is there any rules reguarding a limit to how much fuel you can carry when drag racing? obviously you want to run as little fuel as possible for weight, but is there a safety or fire hazard requirement?
Smegamega 380 (6:04:04 PM): no well not for a street car
K2MR2t91 (6:04:43 PM): ahh right, for like pro-mod and stuff there might be?
Smegamega 380 (6:07:31 PM): for pro mod there is

all classes and sanctioning bodies have there own set of rules, some require it, some do not.

theres the answer
