That 100lb for .1mpg is purely highway at 60mph.
In real world driving, with stop and go, hills, turning I found with fuel logs as little as 400 to 500 pounds can reduce fuel economy by pretty close to 1mpg.
In a car that only weighs 2500lb and gets 50mpg, 100lb would make a lot more of a difference.
