I noticed a slight change in handling when I removed my spare and jack for a while. I assume then it was talking about acceleration.

Yep, the difference inbetween a full tank of gas
and an empty tank really effects my handling.
6.073 pounds per US Gallon. Thats 91.095 pounds.
The change in weight as the gas is used up
really screws with me on a daily basis.
I have to check how much fuel I have on board
and do some mean calculations before doing some
spirited driving. Or risk sever over/under steer
and possably kissing a few curbs or such.
