Lost the previous attempt, forgive any double post.
Weight adds up and lowers efficiency but with the average car about 3500 pounds and a good size SUV around 10,000 I think we’ve got lower hanging fruit to nab.
I’d actually posit that phone use decreases fuel efficency more than driver weight and I won’t even begin my rant against SUVs. (Spawns of satan! grumble.) (Sorry, fuel efficiency nazi.)

I shudder to think whose tax money paid for the sheer stupidity of this “study.”

Yours did, Bat.
Aren’t you proud?

Why in the hell am I working 40 hours a week?
I should of applied for a grant to produce studies like this.
Dear exalted rulers of the government grant purse,
may I please have $5,000,000 to do a study.

Ok, somebody has to do it:
I thought eating more generated more gas.

This car vails to site the fact that cars often weigh less today then they did back in the day.
I also think that do to global warming we have more wind today which creates more drag on your car. Who is to blame? The white christian male!

WEll, yeah, but that gas just causes global warming too.
I’m waiting for that study: Increased Flatulance Due to Obesity Melting The Ice Caps!

Compared to the weight of the car, the weight of the driver is negligible. This study is the epitome of politically-driven junk science.
