does it make a considerable difference to you guys?
to me it does... it's much more easy to flick my bike around when my tank is almost empty. i mean it's very noticeable.
i think a full tank adds around 25lbs to my bike so that's why it's very noticeable.

That must be why they put the fuel tank under the seat of my bike, and there's a plastic air intake where the gas goes on most bikes

Yup average weight of gas is 6-7lbs per gallon, you do the math for your bike

Not for me! The gas is in the frame, low and centered... not sloshing up high on the bike

I notice that when my tank is near empty, the bike will tend to bring the front wheel up much more easily than when it is full.
