i bought an ice cube tray, it fit perfectly in the spare tire and held like 3-4 16oz bottles, on an s4 fillup, i would just put in half a bottle

Youre at a gas station, they always have those long straws. Just grab a straw when you pay for your gas.

 

You actualy pay for gas with paper money?

 

i carry around an old bottle of two stroke oil that i refill at home...



everytime i fill up, i check how many gallons is put in the car, and pour the same amount of 2 stroke in ounces. the bottle has lines on the side so you can tell how many ounces you put in.

A tank of gas is around the weight of a light passenger.

So, let me guess, you personally don't like the feel of having friends in your car?



The difference in acceleration between a full tank of gas and a near-empty tank of gas is less than 0.1 seconds in the quarter mile. Do you really think you can feel this difference?

 

If you want to be technical, the 16 gallon difference between full and empty on an S5 is only an 88 lb difference in weight, considering gas weighs 5.5 lbs/gal.



It may feel a lot more sluggish that it really is. I could notice a bit of responsiveness lost in my GTU, but overall acceleration when running through the gears was the same for all purposes.

 

I have a question that may have been asked before but I cant find anything about it.



Can you premix while retaning the stock oiling system? Does anyone do this? Woudl this cause any problems with the motor?



I woudl love to do this if it ment a bit more engine life and better lubrication. Any advice?

you can but the amount you mix is much smaller, like 4oz to the tank

 

So what kind of blending equasion am i looking at here?



Im putting in a brand spanking new S4 TII motor that has been streetported in my car this weekend, and im considering also premixing but im not sure how much i should use. Keep in mind i work in liters not gallons as im Canadian eh :P

I dont know about you, but I dont put passengers behind the rear wheels like the gas tank is. In fact, when I have a passenger (in the seat) handeling is more predictable. It feels like I dont need to preload as much before a sharp left as I normally would driving solo.



And drag racing isnt all people use their cars for. I can feel a difference in handeling when the tank is full, Just like if you added 80 lbs in front of your front wheels you would notice a difference.
