You can reduce vehicle weight by about 40 lbs if the fuel tank is only filled to half capacity.
Also interesting to note; although the car is driving in stop and go rush hour traffic, and over 700 lbs have been removed from the car, the driver only gained 1.5 mpg from the extreme diet. Removing weight has a very negligible impact on fuel economy. |
I cringed seeing he removed all the plastic "cosmetic" covers under the engine, transmission, and car. This likely had a detrimental effect on the vehicle's Cd.
