If i lost anymore weight, I'd blow away! I guess if you are one of many who are overweight this would/could be one more incouragement to loose a few pounds.

I can atest to this...my MPG went from a very steady 34.5 down to 31mpg when I started using my car for pooling. I am the "small" one at 215lbs, the other two are taller and slightly heavier. Plus all the lunch boxes and back packs add some more wieght. I can really tell the difference in acceleration and handling. If I could find the right heavy duty rear coils I would change out the originals. I have even had to lower my headlight aim a bit. Still a great car for commuting, although two instead of three would be better.
