Yeah, Im building a barely street legal “smiles per gallon” toy… in a 1025kg car I can save around 12kg each on the battery, spare wheel, aircond, back seat and wheels, few more on the carpet and sound deadening… few more on the flywheel. doesnt sound like much but the car will be about 6% lighter overall. Thats the low hanging fruit and the expense of losing more will be where it costs big cash or the car becomes illegal.
That is a shitload , though hopefully not literally.
Seems worthwhile in this context, though.
