Go on a diet! (if you have any weght to lose).
I'd rather lose the back seat than the spare. On my mustang, the seat back and the 60/40 fold down seat frame weighs 55 pounds. The bottom cushion weighs almost nothing. Lots of drag racing guys replace the seat back with a piece of thin wood and carpet it. Keeps the seat usable and comfortable enough for short trips, and you can cut off 50 pounds.
If your mazda is anything like this, you should do it!
Even in my 'scort wagon, the fold-down seats have a frame in them and the seats weigh a ton.
