We have a hill leading out of the station back to the road and you feel the added momentum in the brakes then as well.

I usually fill up about every 240 miles with my 2000 S and that leaves me usually right above where the light comes on.

You can easily tell the difference from full and empty tank. Especially if you've been driving the car for over 10 years at the half full mark and have gotten used to how it feels from 1/2 full to the final hash mark before the light comes on. I can also feel when I've got heavy cargo in the rear trunk. The suspension on these cars is like to talk to you a lot.
