Hmm. I suspect the seats in my car are about 60KG for the front passenger and all rear seats. That would translate into 130lbs and that's a 5% weight reduction for my car, which might translate into 0.5-1MPG. Might need testing, but getting 800 miles out of a tank means really long test periods!

Thanks again for help.
