Ive been wondering that about my Celebrity. I took at least 150 lbs out of the trunk, and still got 32 mpg going downstate and back, just like before. I notice that the back end sits up a little higher now since the springs are not as compressed, and maybe that added wind profile offsets the weight decrease. Some cheap lowering clips on the rear springs might tell the tale of whats really going on.
