The weight of the fuel can't make a perceptible difference in MPG. Your method of calculating MPGs is either not accurate, or other variables are at play. I can have 1,000 pounds in the back of my truck and not discern a difference in MPG.

The 3 biggest things that affect my numbers are speed, amount of brake use, and temperature.
