Less gas in the tank is lighter!

I'm surprised I didn't see in all the hypermiling tips, this obvious way to reduce a significant amount of weight. Fill up with gas more frequently, and only when the tank is near empty. Then fill up 1/4 to 1/2 of the tank capacity. That's much less weight than a full tank. As a side benefit, the gas will be fresher which is better for your engine.
