Okay many of you missed the point here. I want to know if somebody has done a light flywheel and what their apples to apples findings for mpg were. NOT, I believe this and think ur wrong. You guys think it will hurt mpg, I think it will help. Now who has done the swap and has real results?

Also, you shouldn't attempt to reduce weight on integral parts of the motor like the crank pulley unless you are precise, like maybe a machine shop. You could end up making it unbalanced and break your engine.
