They should, But my diesel didnt seem to be very different from the LWB.
As for my Petrol auto swb, well it needs a tune. So it just suxs. But on gas its still cheaper than my diesel.

I had an SWB and a LWB Mav, the SWB was way better on fuel. It also made a huge difference what size tyres were on it, as the 29ish inch cheesecutters may have looked pathetic but they saved 5 litres per hundred ks compared to the 32" muddies.

Yes.... anything where the weight is so much less is gonna make a noticable difference.

However, most of the benefit is gonna be in low speed or stop start driving (city).

Out on the highway, with the same aerodynamics (of a house brick) the difference would be much smaller.
