you're forcing your powersteering and pulls a little extra power from the engine

your engine compensating for the draw of power the power steering pump is asking for in order to get the power to turn the wheels.

This. I would recomend not turning your wheel all the way like that for this very reason. stop turning right before you hit that point.

ill bet that you hear buzzing coming from the ps too...
