behold the Aldrin cycler. two stations in heliocentric orbit. one has a fast trip Earth -> Mars and then a long way back (where it would be unmanned) and the other has a fast Mars -> Earth. The fast part of the orbit is the bit closest to the sun.

I don't think it would effect the delta-v to get to mars because any craft would still need to match orbits with the station before docking, but it would cut down on redundant mass for habitation etc.
