Reducing weight will improve FE if you brake often. Braking wastes energy, that came from accelerating (i.e. burning fuel).

At least that is what I think. :-) So I carry tools, spare water, and any other things I want to in my car. I do not try to reduce my vehicle weight at all.

Thanks for the info on the jack stands and spares I'll have to look into them and see if I can find one.
