I stripped the seats out of my B-14 SE-R in preparation for running it at the drag strip. Put all the stuff in a pile on the scale, and was really disappointed to find it only added up to ~100 lbs.
Every little bit helps, but we had an Ecomodder northern CA meet a few weeks ago, and I did a clinic with two other guys in my xB. Even with 300 lbs more weight, I was still able to pull 59 mpg on a couple legs of the driving route. Very little, if any, difference from driving the route alone.
