??? There's only one candidate for most fuel efficient car currently sold, and the same car is the second most fuel-efficient car ever sold. The link shows it weighs in at 3000 lbs, just like roflwaffle said. This is common knowledge in the hypermiling community.

Since you've made the claim, cite some support for your claim that weight is so much more important than RR, drag area, etc.
