Metrompg found a 10% increase from an already very fuel efficient vehicle from reducing parasitic drag on the motor and deleting the alternator. I'm curious how this differs from the extra weight of the flywheel on the crank.

Drag racers delete their alternator and run on battery often because it steals HP, and Metrompg found it also will increase mpg.

Maybe lighter flywheel will give more mpg and has already been dyno proven to increase HP??
