According to the MPG calculator, my weight reduction of ~400 pounds has increased my MPG 2.5 at 50 MPH. This is equivalent to a .02 decrease in cd for my vehicle at the stock weight. I have not been able to notice a measurable increase, probably due to the larger wheel well space creating drag from being lighter.
