Default I heard.......

I heard that when the fuel gets to 1/4 tank or maybe it was a 1/2 a tank that the computer in the C5 cuts the fuel supply back to the injectors.
Is this true???? :confused:

I've never heard that. I'd be surprised if that were true, but these cars never cease to amaze me.

If that was true then why do I get the best MPH and Et's when on less that 1/4 tank of fuel vs. 1/2 or above???.........sure it's a few pounds lighter....but cutting the fuel would more than make up the difference......I think that what you heard is not true.......
