hey, 20 lbs is 20 lbs. On a Geo that's over 1% of the total weight of the car. Think about how much our fuel efficiency might go up if we all went on a diet! For that matter, it would be interesting to estimate the annual fuel savings of our nation if we reduced obesity...maybe Obama should put that in his energy plan, state of the union coming up
