Really?

Do you know exactly how many gallons you had to have?

I used to have fuel slosh in my Civic when I would track it, but it would only get bad enough to where it would cut out if it dropped below 2 or 3 gallons.

Gas is heavyyyyyy!

Anything below a half a tank and I started to see problems on the big double apex turn, at NPR that's the only sustained high G right hander. You make it out of the corner and then run out of gas on the straight away. bummer. Unfortunately there is no quick easy fix other than keep the fuel level up or go slower.

Bucketman is correct. Went below half a tank, the same corner. The same problem.
