I have never cared about having a weight problem.
That's what my ex-wife said.

a lot more valid answer than weight savings LOL
When you wheel where it matters, weight savings can be a huge benefit.

Title pretty much says it all. Assuming stock tank and wheeling on a random Saturday and easy access to gas station at the end of the day or trailer.
I don't think I've ever used more than 1/2 tank and usually closer to 1/4

Weight savings
Trust me, I've wheeled "where it matters"
A full tank of gas in a TJ weighs 114#, so lets say you are only filling your tank half way, you are saving a whopping 57#. Lets say a built TJ weighs 4000# conservatively? That's a 1.14% weight savings. I'd much rather have the assurance of having plenty of fuel if things go wrong and you end up running the engine for longer than expected. You do you
My house is a 45min to an hour and 30min drive to our wheeling hot spots in the Phoenix area. I have been topping off my tank at the station close to my house.
This makes sense if you don't have a fuel up point near the trail.
