Gas weighs about six pounds per gallon (seven Imperial) and with your fifteen-gallon tank, that totals ninety pounds.

A decade ago, when I had my Prelude, I read a post by a guy that said he never filled his tank above one-quarter, because that was like carrying around an extra person that you do not need.

Sure, a 67.5-pound person.
