I usually keep my car full simply because I can't be bothered making the extra trips to the pumps, but I am intrigued by Jake's comment that he can feel the difference. Now I want to get out and burn some gas off to see if I can too.

I was referencing the discussion's focus on getting ripped off re: low grade left in filler hose... That's a complete Bimmerfest-esque conversation...

In vehicles as light as the Boxster (at least 986 & 987), one should easily be able to discern changes in handling if a tank of fuel is full/half/empty via the ~ 100+ lb delta. Since you cannot, I recommend doing an AX sometime w/ each and you will learn quickly...
