Kinda like the old adage, what weighs more, a pound of feathers or a pound of lead.
Sorry, but that is definitely not true. I cut grass part time, and for 2 years I would pull my mower to the front of my trailer when going to and from my jobs. Well every time I loaded up and drove to baton rouge to mow these town homes I would burn a 1/4 of a tank and its not a far trip. One day I decided to park over the tires(only moving the mower back about 18-24", its an 8ft trailer) I noticed a drastic difference. I went all the way to baton rouge and back + another 15 miles and burned maybe 1/8 of a tank. Now it is a V6 toyota but still it did make a big difference
