It all depends on how close to being overweight you are and how big your holding tank are. My Host holds 60 gallons of Fresh. When I hauled on my SRW, I tended to only put 10-15 gallons in if I knew water was available where I was going. Since water weighs 8.3 lbs a gallon, my full tank was around 500 lbs. I saved a few hundred lbs by not filing it all of the way up.
In my DRW, the water weight isn't significant, so I usually am full before I go anywhere. If you have a small freshwater tank, it probably doesn't matter much.
One more thing, I found the handling remarkably different with full grey/blank tanks on the SRW, so I tried to keep the holding tanks emptied before very much interstate driving.
