The Duster/Demon cars didn't weigh that much to start with. My 72 Demon weight was around 2800 pounds. A manual and a better final drive ratio would have made all the difference in the mpg. I'd love to lighten the hood, doors, and K member on my pickup. It has a 3.55 rear end ratio but the tires are not conducive to economy.
