WE always travel with 1/3 tank.
Got caught ONCE and had just enough water on board until water service was restored.
After that I always fill tank upon arrival and then we use most of it up just before travel day.
As for the impact on mileage.......I don't notice any difference between traveling with a full or empty tank.
70 gallons of water vs 13'4" 5'vr @ 14K.....the frontal area has more resistance at speed than the overall weight.
