If a truck is loaded with Helium, would it weigh less than when it was empty?

Wouldn't it get better fuel mileage when it was full?

    I say yes assuming the truck is shaped like a gas tanker. He2 is lighter than H2O. (I think.)

    Not if the helium were under pressure. Plus the tanks to contain pressurized helium are quite heavy.

    Probably not noticeably better mileage, The wind resistance of the vehicle and the rolling resistance of the tyres have quite an effect on mileage.
