Theoretically, it might save a tiny bit of gas to run it dry because there is less weight, but I wouldn't do it for one major reason.
If there's an emergency situation (think of N.O. residents before/during/after Katrina), and gas shortages are widespread, do you really want to be caught with 1/8 of a tank? My stepfather sold me on this point, and now I try to keep my tank above half full at all times. It requires stopping a little bit more often, but oh well.
