Okay, that's #9.
With fwd vehicles you DO want less gas in the tank. The less weight in the back, the more the center of gravity moves towards the front tires, allowing for better traction (all else remaining equal).
With rwd vehicles, you want more gas for the same reasons (but reversed).
With my '93 Daytona, I race with about 1/8th tank of gas. With the '77 Camaro it launched best with between 1/2 and 3/4 full. Any more than that and the extra weight started to become counter-productive.
