But the efficiency is lower driving around with a full tank.

I think not. With a full tank there is less room for fumes to expand. I believe less fuel in the tank means worse fuel economy.

In addition to my sibling comment, I'd point out that the weight of fuel is negligible in this application, especially in a smaller car. A full 14 gallon tank weighs half of an adult male. You'd save more fuel in the long run by losing some weight, but it still wouldn't be that much.
