Do cars run better on fuller tanks of gas?

Question:
I've been broke lately and only putting in 5 dollars worth of gas at a time, which only lasts me about two days. However, last week I put in $15, and my tank seems to be lasting longer (as in, I'm not using gas at the same rate). My car, which is a 2005 Corolla, seems to run better with more gas. Is there any scientific basis for this?

If your engine is constantly sucking the sediment that builds up at the bottom of your tank when it only has $5 worth in there that could have an impact. But, $15 worth of gas is heavier, so it should diminish your mileage. In either case, the difference shouldn't be measurable except with highly sensitive scientific instruments.
