could be the hot weather .....

Yep less dense air was always noticeable in my petrol cars (performance filter may help). Strangely D-4D seems to have no effect if not better in the hot.

In hot weather i get about 5MPG more and cars feels just a quick :)

Same here, hot weather gives more performance to me if I push it to hard, if not, then it's economy. ;)

Oh, and about the topic...

Strangely enough, I felt the 'exact' opposite of that. When there's 3 or less bars on the fuel indicator, the car gives faster reactions to the gas pedal. Although it is not something too much of a difference but I can just feel it everytime. It's not obvious when taking off though, you can feel it while rolling.

Car is about 40 kg lighter compared to the full tank ;)
