automaticaly resize subplots when ylabels removed

Hi, I am plotting 6 plot in a subplot. To make the figures as big as I can I want to remove the yticklabel and ylabel on 4 of the subplots. To do so I used the following code:

% code
for i=1:6
 subplot(2,3,i)
 plot(x,y)
 ylim([0 2500])
 if i==1|i==4
   ylabel('elevation (m)')           
 else
   set(gca,'ylim',[0 2500],'ytick',[0:500:2500] ,'yticklabel',{})
 end
end

In doing that, I do remove the labels in the targeted subplot but they are replaced by blank space. Is there a way to force matlab to use these blank spaces to make the graph bigger without having to set the position of the graphs by doing, for example :

 set(h1,'units','centimeters','position',[1.5 9 6.3 7.8]);)

Thanks,
