Of your options, I voted for 1/4 tank, but ideally you'd want even less than that. I don't think fuel starvation is much of an issue in AutoX since there aren't really any long sweepers. For guys with FI like myself though, I'd prob run more fuel...I def want to have more than 1/4 tank at any given time.

Although I'm about 175 pounds heavier with a full fuel load as opposed to empty, I am now faster.
Based on my recent experiences also & validated by other members like you, a full tank of gas is the ideal amount for the Z in auto-x.
