The thing is, that weight will have the biggest impact on fuel economy in stop and go traffic. Highway fuel economy savings will be negligible in my opinion.

Weight reduction is good, but only to a certain extent. I would also be concerned about the weight distribution of the car being affected; if too much weight is removed, hence affecting the overall balance of the car.
