According to this:
http://www.wikihow.com/Increase-Fuel-Mileage-on-a-Car

"When you fill up with gas, fill up completely and try and keep your tank above one third full. If your fuel runs low, the engine might not receive a steady supply of gas (since it will splash around while you're driving and it might momentarily splash away from the tube that leads gas out of the tank). Not having a steady supply of gas will make your engine less efficient. The benefits of having a full tank will outweigh the drawbacks of having the added weight."

LOL, it is fuel enjected!

With less gas, less weight, then easier on mileage.
