1. Get rid of the spare tire and jack. Keep tire plugs and tire inflator and AAA card.
2. Get rid of the rubber pads on the rear bumper.
3. Only keep 1/2 tank of gas in car.
4. Get rid of the stock battery and go with an optima.
There, you have lost 200 lbs. Total cost? Approximately $200.00 for the battery, plugs and inflator.

Excellent advice! Adding lightness pays bigger dividends in more than one way. The car becomes more nimble in the corners, as well.
