LWB vs SWB Weight Difference

Does anyone out there know what the weight difference is in a F-150 SWB versus an F-150 LWB? A friend of mine says I get better gas mileage than him because of the weight difference and I think not. He has a LWB with 5.0, I have a SWB with a 4.9. His gears and tranny are the same as mine and I get around 20 highway, he gets 16-17.
