Your body weight vs your mileage

Hopefully I can gather enough numbers to plot. I got this idea from my "half tank fillup" thread. I was wondering how much worse mileage you'd get if you were a heavy 250lb vs if you were a light 130lber.

Can you state:
1) Your weight
2) Your mileage
3) MT or AT
4) Comments: i.e. And how often do you drive with other passengers. Do you carry extra weight in the trunk.

Who knows. This thread might answer why US fit gets worse mileage than the japanese or UK fit

1) 130lbz
2) 7k
3) MT
4) hardly ever passengers or stuffs, usually around 30mpg give or take a few for misc driving habits, conditions, etc... so i'd say 25 if i mash it everywhere, 30 just on the reg, and could possibly show 35+ if i baby'd the fukc out of it.

I am 225, 6'0, NOT FAT!
I usually carry 30-60 additional pounds worth of Army gear.
I also car pool with a guy 27 miles per day, 5 days a week in my Fit, he weighs 230.
I have 6500 on the odometer and have logged every mile and every gallon of gas.
My average over the 5 months I've owned my Fit is 24.519 MPG.
I have wicked bad road rage, and there are few flat roads in Anchorage.
Oh, auto sport.

Hope that helps.

1) 285-295 guess it depends of how long its been since i ate. LOL
2) If i drive between 65-70mph on the highway i can average 34mpg
3)MT
4)I'm by myself most of the time, with occasion my brother who is the same weight as me. However i do have a large substage in my car. Probably about 100-150lbs
5) I tend to be pretty aggressive so that might have something to do with my occasion bad mileage

Hmm, I didn't know people were questioning masculinity in this thread.

Anyway, here are my answers:
-125-130 lbs
-Currenly 28 mpg (slowly increasing)
-Automatic
-Mix of city & freeway driving, do deal with some traffic, and at times I have a lead foot.
