I checked out the Nasa link for aft CG...can't say it applies to all planes, but they seem to make it clear that if you can leave the fuel as far aft for the duration of the flight....2% savings is the approximate result.

Begs to ask the question of why we still hang our tails on the end of the plane the way we do...
