Yeah, I think someone's been sniffing WAY too much Sentra exhaust....

OK, I'm going to jump in here. Vehicles that get high mileage were out many years ago. They have long ago been forgotten because that was not what the buying markets wanted. They did survive in Europe. My 1969 Fiat 850 Spider only gets less than 60 MPG on the highway if you drive over 70 MPH. My father checked the mileage in his 1957 Nash Metropolitan, and he got 40.6 MPG in the city last tank. That's up from the 36 MPG that he was getting through the winter (down to -40). So, when people go on about their mileage on newer cars that simply have no character, I just smile. Some of us have been saving at the pumps for years now, and attracting attention with our old rides. |

Well that is pretty extreme to take your car apart. I'm not sure if
you realize it but reducing all that weight puts you at an even bigger disadvantage in a wreck. And FULK YOU, I just moved a twin bed and a 6 drawer dresser and my daughter and wife in my suburban. How many trips would that errand have taken in a Sentra? Answer: none, I couldn't have loaded any of it. |

Oh, wait. All these questions any reasonable SUV or truck owner could
through at you. Some of us have growing families, or move stuff around, or tow, etc. Do the Yamaha owners say "**** all the car owners"? That would be a little unreasonable, wouldn't it. Let me give you a few more suggestions on weight reductions: Remove the upholstery and padding from the two remaining seats. Take out the radio, heater and AC controls. DEFINITELY remove the AC compressor. That thing weighs a ton. Take out the carpet and all of the interior trim. You can take your whole dash apart. Just leave in the gauge cluster. Go ahead and get a 1" drill bit and start drilling holes in all the newly exposed metal on the interior. Metal weighs alot and most of that metal is not structural. It's just cheaper to leave it there than to take the extra steps to remove it during the manufacture process. Make sure to recycle the plastic trim and definitely the drill bit shavings. It's good for the environment and scrap steel is worth alot right now. Remove two of the lug nuts from each wheel, 4 or 5 is overkill. Cut off the protuding unused lugs. Remove the exterior mirrors, there will be more aerodynamic advantage than weight but on the highway, mirrors create alot of drag. Remove the high beam bulbs. They are hardly ever used and that is precious ounces. Make sure to remove the passenger side windshield wiper and wiper arm. Always run with your engine oil near the lower mark on the dipstick, any more and you are carrying extra cargo. Same for the transmission. When you fill up, only put in a gallon at a time. Run with the tank as empty as possible. A full tank is at least 100 lbs. extra weight. Besides by the time you get to this point, that one gallon will probably get you 80 miles. Remove the rear brake shoes or pads. They are made mostly of metal and your car will be so light, your front brakes should be enough. Get creative. I'm sure there are more. |
