Full Tank of gas & Accelation
I know this sound little weird but everytime I fill up the tank, the accelation is really improved. Also with less gas left in the tank, the car feel sluggish. Did anybody else feel this way too?? I had same experience with my Acura-TL before. Is there any reason behind this? I have 14000miles on mine.

It's probably psychological as you should actually get better acceleration with less fuel in the tank as the less weight gives you a better power to weight ratio.

Re: Full Tank of gas & Accelation
Yeah, I agree, I also think it's just psychological. Or maybe it could be this:
Less fuel in the tank means less weight in the back, which means less traction for the rear tires, which means slower acceleration when you punch it. But that's just not true because whenever you accelerate, all the weight gets transferred to the rear of the car anyways.
