i removed my backseat and my spare tire at the begining of the tank I am currently on and seem to be getting 2 mpg avg each trip better than the last few tanks. I estimate it to be a reduction of about 60 lbs. How ever it is too soon to tell if that will stick. And in replace of the spare I bought a bottle of run flat. Most of my trips are less than 20 miles, with a few gas stations in town that have free air pumps so it should be sufficient to get me home. Now I am looking for some used racing seats. My front seats weigh 35 lbs each and they will only weigh 15. To me ecomodding is about adding up all the little improvements to get big results. Carpeting probably only weighs 5-6 pounds and the road noise youll gain by losing will probably will drive you crazy so I recomend leaving that in. there are much bigger things to lose first.
