We can reasonably say that all things being equal, less weight is better, but in terms of auto design we usually aren't looking at an all things being equal situation. Look at basjoos. He might have added an extra ~100lbs of stuff to make his civic an aerocivic, but it was certainly worthwhile, probably in the city too although the effects aren't as drastic as on the highway.
