I understand that but... if the car is somewhat over powered than that is lost energy. Which drops MPG.

Weight is less of a factor with my car too. Since I live in the wonderful state of Minnesota the dump salt all over the roads. which means my car is rusting and is shedding the pounds every day. (I f****** hate Minnesota for dumping salt, can't drive anything too nice)
