I guarantee the aerocivic is heavier than it was in stock config., and it gets 70 mpg.

Totally depends on the driving you do. Jackrabbit low speed driving and mass makes all the difference. Higher speeds and aero becomes significant quickly.

Kudos on getting the smaller vehicle though. I'm sure it will get better mpgs than the ranger, and it rides high off the road, which I'm sure you are used to.
