Dumb Question

I was just wondering if anyone could tell me why my car runs so much better with a 1/4 tank of gas. There is a really noticable difference. More so than if it was just a weight difference.

Actually, it is just a weight difference. Fluid is fairly hefty.

And remember, there are no stupid questions, just stupid people.
