Exact opposite for me. My best times have been run with and the "seat of
the pants" (third gear scratches, acceleration, ect) feeling is best with
the tank just a bit above "E". Your experience could probably be attributed
to track or atmospheric conditions. Motor temp perhaps. 5spd hookup
problems perhaps. I run mine as near to empty as I dare, but leave the
tailgate and spare on because that weight is optimally placed (behind the
rear wheels - thanks for the tip, Gene). Just my experience - about 50 ¼
mile passes on my Dak.
Weight kills ET's.
I need to go on a diet...... 50# = ½ a tenth at least....... but those
enchiladas......biscuits and gravy.......damn.
