Weight is much less of a factor at highway speeds than you might think. Weight effects city driving mostly.
That's true, but it still has some effect on the highway. Why else would the 10th gens have a reduced highway rating? The vehicle weight affects the tire resistance at a given air pressure. I'll gladly take the city MPGs though.
