Personally, I would rather deal with the weigh and not get stranded w/o a spare. But if you are looking for further weigh savings....The car hold 19 gallons of gas at ~6 pounds per gallon. 114 pounds of gas. Never run more than a 1/4 tank you are saving another 70 pounds.

True, and 66 is probable being generous. I'm thinking 45-50.
