First, When you separate presentation from structure i.e. use css for formatting, you specify the formatting in a css file instead of specifying format information all over the html file. This reduces the size of the html file. If you think about only one file, the difference is not much but when we deal with thousands of files or may be hundreds of thousands of files, impact is huge.

Second, if you replace any text content that is shown with images with plain text and css, you can reduce the size and multiple requests made to the server.
