A study from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign … says that 938 million more gallons of gasoline go into vehicles annually because drivers and passengers are considerably heavier today than in 1960.
In 1960, the average adult male weighed 166 pounds and the female tipped the scale at 140. In 2002, those averages were 191 and 164, according to the National Center for Health Statistics.
Any savings would be insignificant, said John Felmy, chief economist for the American Petroleum Institute.
“It’s an interesting calculation,” Felmy said. “But we use about 140 billion gallons a year. The savings would be less than 1%.”

Firefighters were called to the Salt Lake Mausoleum today after something went wrong during a cremation.
The body was big, weighing 600 pounds, and investigators say when fat burns, it turns into grease.
“The fluids can be very flammable, kind of like a grease fire,” said Salt Lake Fire Spokesman Scott Freitag.
