Does a form with continuous save need a "Save" button?

I am designing a web-app with a lot of forms and i was wondering how to improve the filling. The classical pattern is : fill, fill, fill, Save

Have you experimented a form which auto-save each field once you unfocused it ? In that case the Save button is no longer needed but maybe the user is reassured by it.
