You got a point, stacking a number of fringe benefits.
But 37lbs is not that much, and will only give you some (small) benefit in city / stop & go traffic.
Permanently reducing your fuel capacity, means forever filling up more often - which also costs some fuel.
Or some $ if it means you need to fill up in a more fuel-expensive area.
I'd keep the fuel capacity, but not use it when you don't need the range.
If you always add a fixed volume, you'll also get a pretty good idea of how well you did that half-tank.
