    Otherwise the Honda Insight would have 50lb wheels.

    Keep in mind this would be true if you could guarantee you'd be travelling a constant rate of speed for a long period of time. How many people do this? You're at a disadvantage (from a MPG pov) any time you need to accelerate.

    Nice try though :)
