I don't think the water heater uses enough gas to really matter much. But honestly, sometimes when I want to wash dishes and I only have 3-4 items to wash, I'll heat some water on the cooktop in my teakettle. Then pour from the teakettle's narrow spout to wash & rinse. It beats running a quart of cold water while waiting for the hot to get to the faucet!
Besides, my teakettle has a thermometer built into the lid and I can get just the right temperature, versus trying to regulate by mixing hot and cold at the tap.
