People who don't know that going high speeds uses more gas are at a disadvantage with this question... I picked a wrong answer because I thought about not using outside knowledge.

you don't need outside knowledge to get this right; you just need to spot the assumption the author is making. For any questions on flaws, strengthening or weakening, you should have a grasp of the author's assumptions before heading to answers. I promise spending extra time thinking about it will save you loads of time when browsing the answer choices.
So, let's spot the assumption:
Conclusion: the manufacturer avoided the dilemma of the lighter vehicle being less safe on high-speed highways by producing two types of vehicles: a lighter vehicle for local transportation and a heavier, safer vehicle for long distance travel.
Why?
Premise: (because) most automobile traffic is local.
Assumption: if most traffic is local then a vehicle designed for local transportation won't be travelling at high speeds.
We need to attack this assumption, which D does.
D says many drivers use high-speed highways even when travelling locally.
if D is true then the safety concern is not resolved.
