An interesting tool can be found there :
Tool for visualizing aero vs rolling resistance - GasSavers.org - Helping You Save at the Pump
or more precisely here : http://www.geocities.com/frontsidesk8er/delsolaero.xls
You can change weight, CRR, CD & FA and see how the consumption (at constant speed) varies. For me a 10% weight reduction would achieve a 3.3% reduction at the speed I drive the most often.
Have fun,
Denis.
