The more HTML code you use, the large the file size of the page. It doesn't take a genius to work that one out - so the most obvious solution is to cut down on the amount of HTML (something that Yahoo! might want to consider sometime, probably saving them £100,000's). CSS will certainly help to cut down on the amount of code you use, for example, replacing all of your tags (which are now obsolete by the way) with simple style declarations.
In reducing your file size, you will in turn reduce the amount of bandwidth your website consumes each month, hopefully saving you money.

CSS will help make your website DDA compliant. The DDA is the Disabilities Discrimination Act, the Act makes it "unlawful for a service provider to discriminate against a disabled person by refusing to provide any service which it provides to members of the public", specifically mentioning websites.
Another benefit of using CSS is variable font sizes. CSS will allow you to specify a font size as a percentage, doing so will allow visitors with poor eye sight to enlarge the text size. Tip: Try increasing the font size of a page by holding down ctrl and scrolling the wheel of your mouse (if it has one). You will notice that most websites do not allow you to increase the font size (unless you are using the Firefox browser which forces it) because they use pixel measurements. And those that work but use tags (such as Google) are actually breaking the accessibility guidelines.
