Depends on what you think of as a highway. If you drive where "highways" are straight and flat (and probably divided), then weight may not be much of a concern. If much of your driving (like mine) is done on roads that wiggle around and go up and down 6% or greater grades, then weight's a much greater factor.

And oddly enough, yesterday I did see a billboard advertising some car (only caught it out of the corner of my eye, so I don't know which) as "50 mpg class".
