Like everything it depends. If the gas tank is behind the back bumper, it could alter the aerodynamic angle of attack.

As much as I've thought about it, it seems range anxiety would be higher.

I'd be more inclined to throw out the spare tire. They don't weigh less the farther you go and I haven't had a flat since I slid into a curb twenty years ago.
