it wouldnt make much sense for weight distribution, since usually on cars the gas tank runs horizonally (from left to right) it wouldnt matter if there was 1 or 2 tanks. if anything they would put the gas tank under the passenger seat to even out the drivers weight.

arent most lotus MR? should the gas tank be in teh front like in some porsches?
