Petrol Consumption?

Is it true that petrol consumption of a car is more efficient the more the tank is full?

I have heard this, although, logically, it does not seem to make sense.

Can anyone confirm?

Thanks.

    If it's full of petrol the car is heavier, so logic dictates the engine needs to work harder to move that extra weight around.
