How much does gas weigh per gallon?
What's the difference in weight between a car with a full tank and one with 2 gallons in the tank?
I would guess about $4000 worth of carbon fiber.

Gas is ~6 lb/gal here on earth. Ignoring the dregs at the bottom of an empty light illuminated tank we've got just about 80lb of gas to play with between the E and the F on my analog cluster. Each extreme definitely factors into how the rear end behaves and the fun rises as the needle drops.
