Thanks!
If you get another 40% out of your car that would be totally awesome. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think driving style makes a much bigger difference on a big, heavy vehicle like mine, as opposed to a lighter vehicle.
IMO, if you drive correctly you can largely offset the effect of increased weight. If you drive "normally" with a heavy vehicle you leave tons and tons of energy at each stop sign & red light. By timing the red lights and costing up to stop signs you can get a lot of that energy back. With a lighter vehicle there's not as much room for improvement.
