Yup. Civic steelies are about 20lbs. My alloy wheels (from Honda) about 16lbs. Rotating weight counts about double. So it's possibly like a 32lb difference.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
