Ah so you're not interested in having your misapprehension about easily available Shell (lke Ferrari) filling stations in Warwick corrected. My misunderstanding.
I thought you needed help.
Actually that's already confirmed.

for handling half a tank is beter....
for practicality a full tank is beter,,,
ur gonna put in the fuel so you might as well put it in once...
and like aybeesea with thant kind of driving you will not have a full tank for long espically with the e60..
i personally like to be low on fuel, i can feel it but then again i visit the station every moring, its less than a minute from my house and i like tha car to warm up a bit before driving...

I've been told that running with close to an empty tank puts too much strain on the fuel pump, which would mean if you were really going for weight reduction without causing damage, you could only play between 1/2 and 1/4 tank.

I like to know what you guy think anout the tank of petro.
Is it better for a full tank or half tank of petro for the handing of the car?
right now I always have it half tank

I believe you get the best milage and handling with no petrol in the tank.
Or would that be kilometerage?

i always fill to the brim. i dont really let it go lower than 1/4 tank.. sometimes ill drive till 1/8 tank. i heard its just bad for the engine. plus you never know if anything happens and you just need the gas to get to somewhere and/or you dont have the time to fill up. as for racing and weight reduction... you could still burn other cars with a full tank
