Reducing the amount of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/does-gasoline-go-bad-how-long-can-it-sit-in-your-tank\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"fuel in your tank\">fuel in your tank<\/a> can potentially save a bunch of weight, and the weight savings go up the bigger your vehicle&rsquo;s fuel tank is. Physics dictates that a heavier weight requires more power to get moving. Additionally, a heavier vehicle will mean it will have more rolling resistance. Weight can also be a major factor when going uphill, as a vehicle will need to overcome the extra force of gravity and not just rolling and wind resistance. That said, does running with less fuel result in better fuel economy?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/automotive-gasoline-1024x697.jpeg\" alt=\"pouring gas in a fuel tank\" class=\"wp-image-77880\" width=\"1024\" height=\"697\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/automotive-gasoline-1024x697.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/automotive-gasoline-300x204.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/automotive-gasoline-768x523.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/automotive-gasoline-150x102.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/automotive-gasoline.jpeg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption>EPA states that for every 100 lbs. taken out of a vehicle, fuel economy is only increased by 1-2%, which means running with less fuel might not result in significant fuel savings because you&rsquo;re only saving a fraction of the vehicle&rsquo;s total weight.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A typical compact sedan like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/toyota-corolla-reliability-and-common-problems\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Toyota Corolla\">Toyota Corolla<\/a> weighs around 3,000 lbs, while a mid-size sedan like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/toyota-camry-reliability-and-common-problems\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Toyota Camry\">Toyota Camry<\/a> weighs around 3,500 lbs. Assuming they had a fuel tank capacity of around 12 to 15 gallons, a full tank would weigh around 70 to 100 lbs. The Environmental Protection Agency states that for every 100 pounds taken out of a vehicle, fuel economy is only increased by 1-2 percent. This means running with less fuel might not result in significant fuel savings because you&rsquo;re only saving a fraction of the vehicle&rsquo;s total weight. Even if you were to only fill your compact sedan with three gallons of fuel, a fourth of its 12-liter capacity, you would only save 55 pounds, which isn&rsquo;t really that much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"article-search-widget\">\n<div class=\"cp-search\">\n<div align=\"center\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cld.partsimg.com\/image\/upload\/w_auto,dpr_auto\/carparts\/logos\/badge_wordmark\/full_color\/CP_LOGO_COLOUR_RGB\" alt=\"CarParts.com\" width=\"300\" height=\"56\">\n<\/div>\n<form id=\"cpsearchform\" name=\"cpsearchform\" action=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/search\" method=\"get\" target=\"_blank\" accept-charset=\"character_set\" aria-label=\"search CarParts.com\">\n    <input type=\"text\" class=\"keyword\" name=\"q\" placeholder=\"Search for parts on CarParts.com\" value=\"\" aria-label=\"Search CarParts.com\"><input type=\"submit\" class=\"btn-search\" value=\"Search\" aria-label=\"Search\">\n<\/form>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Fuel Weight Affects Race Cars<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Running a reduced fuel load in consumer vehicles isn&rsquo;t worth it because the benefits aren&rsquo;t worth the cost in range and convenience. In racing, this is not the case. Formula 1 cars use expensive, lightweight materials such as carbon fiber and titanium to save as much weight as possible. As a result, F1 cars only weigh around 1,750 lbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike regular vehicles, race cars like F1 cars are so light that the weight of fuel they have on-board affects their performance. At the start of a race, an F1 car can carry up to around 242 lbs of fuel. Since the car itself only weighs around 1,750 lbs, the weight of the fuel in its tank is a significantly larger proportion of its weight compared to the weight of fuel in conventional vehicles. As a result, F1 cars lose around 0.3 seconds a lap for every 22 lbs of fuel they hold. Over a race with 50 to 70 laps, this could be quite significant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/refuelling-f1-race-car-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"pit crew servicing an f1 race car\" class=\"wp-image-77980\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/refuelling-f1-race-car-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/refuelling-f1-race-car-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/refuelling-f1-race-car-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/refuelling-f1-race-car-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/refuelling-f1-race-car-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/refuelling-f1-race-car-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/refuelling-f1-race-car.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption>Formula 1 cars use expensive, lightweight materials such as carbon fiber and titanium to save as much weight as possible.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Carrying Fuel In Emergencies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You might be wondering how much a gas can filled with gasoline weighs because you may have to carry one in case of an emergency.
