A little weight makes a very small difference, and aero matters at slower speeds than you think. A truck has higher drag than an average car, and average cars hit 50% of the load from aero drag at <30MPH.

Pretty much everybody drive at least 30MPH much of the time - so aero matters to everybody, much of the time.
