Although cars, apples-to-apples, are lighter now than in the 70s, the average vehicle weight is no different than it was in the 70s, due to a shift from cars to SUVs, vans, and light trucks.
The average vehicle weight (
EPA data) in 1975 was 4060 lbs. It dropped as low as 3221 lbs in the mid-80s, but by 2015 it was back up to 4035 lbs.
