I drive a 1998 DX that I have taken about 230 lbs out of it. One guy on here claims that articles generally cite 2% FE gain per hundred pounds reduction. By that measure, I should be close to a 5% gain from weight reduction alone. And like aero mods and speed, what you do for weight will help acceleration if you want it. Win/win. My garage page for this car details tons of things I've done. PM me if you like. I'll reply.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
