Back seat Delete

So Here goes nothing. Yesterday I removed the backseats from Chippy my 93 honda civic dx. I removed both the uppers and the lower parts of the seats. I also removed the backseats floor mates, rear deck, glove box and some old tools from the trunk. I am not going to remove the spare, jack, jumper cables, ice scrapper, and flashlight. These four items I feel are needed at all times.
Additionally I have increased my tire pressure from 32 psi to 40 psi. I don't have a scan gauge or any other fuel saving computer on board. I am going to have do my testing the old way. I drove my car till empty. I put 10 galleons of fuel in. I reset my trip-meter and at the end of the week hopefully my lite mods and new driving habits will have improved my Mpg's. I will report back.

Thanks
