It makes sense for everyone. There is literally no disadvantage (it's cheap, light when empty, no noticeable sloshing, no loss of luggage space, the fuel gauge is calibrated properly for it in the 992) and several advantages (extended driving range on road and track, avoid premature low fuel warning on track, avoid paying for race fuel at track, drive into and out of countries without easy access to Premium fuel during ED, etc.).

i have the small tank on my 992s and ordered it on my GT3T. the harsh reality is i cant go more than 2 hours without having to pee anyways so no problem running out of gas. My M2C has a really small tank 13gal that is a little small for me. carl

No, you get even less than 100 miles if you were to run it dry with hard cornering on track (very bad for car) and the dash screen shows a big low fuel warning on the screen (very distracting) when the system calculates you have 50 miles remaining at the current driving conditions. I never run the tank lower than 1/3 full with the large tank (to provide a safety margin for the engine and to usually avoid the warning).
