better preformance after gas fill-up
I can see a noticeable difference in the preformance of my G after getting a full tank of gas. (ie faster acceleration, better throttle response). Is this normal? I assume this could be due to increased full pressure. But I'd like to have the same preformance throughout a tank of gas.

Re: better preformance after gas fill-up
funny you said that, my 10 year old once say, 'Dad, you scare me the way you drive everytime you filled up the gas tank', I did notice the difference but did not link to a full tank of gas. do you think it's the weight to rear wheels, the weight press the wheels down and give them more traction?

Re: better preformance after gas fill-up
I've noticed this with my last two cars as well and they were FWDs... I chalked it up to wishful thinking.

Re: better preformance after gas fill-up
One thing I have noticed about Nissan's OBDII ECU is that it seems to make those "learning" changes at a fillup of gas. This is most noticeable in the couple of tanks right after a mod to the engine, but is there each time. I have never noticed it before on other cars, except my Nissan OBDII's (my altima and a friends Max (2k2)

I'd imagine performance at handling twisty curves would still be better on a 1/4 tank.. with 100lbs less liquid sloshing around near the rear axle.

Re: better preformance after gas fill-up
I thought I was the only one that felt a difference after a fill up. I have felt that for the past coupe of years in my '01 Maxima 5sp. So, if it's not the pressure from a full tank, and it's not the ECU re-learning (5-sp), and it can't be wieght on my back wheels which are a disadvantage to me.......what can it be? It must be the butt dyno making these claims. Hmmmmm
