The city is where it looks so attractive. I'd get one if I needed a car. Unfortunately, I need a pickup.

Weight only affects acceleration and deceleration.
At a constant speed, it doesn't matter if the car weighs 1000# or 4000#.
Wind Resistance is by far the largest force to overcome at highways speeds and is squared as speed increases, iffn I remember that formula right ............
