a.To save money on product
b.To reduce vehicle weight
c.Liquid expands as it warms and needs room for expansion (outage)

Explanation

You should never fill a tank completely full because liquids expand as they warm. The empty space left in the tank, called outage, allows room for this expansion. Without outage, pressure buildup could damage the tank or cause leaks.
