For an unscientific review of commuting on a light bike vs a "heavy" bike, check out this article about the study published in the British Medical Journal.

Personally, I don't think it was much of a comparison considering they were both road bikes that are pretty similar except for a few pounds. Change it up with a fat tired mountain bike and the results are likely to be quite different.
But, it just goes to show, ride what you've got...it beats driving any day.
