The one-piece rear seat weighed as follows:
Rear Bottom - 11.0
Rear Bottom Support - 6.0
Parcel Shelf - 1.5
Rear Back - 36.5
Belts (all) - 7.5
Total - 62.5

Stock steel wheels weigh around 19 pounds each. Replacing them with readily available 12 pound alloys saves a total of 28 pounds (and it's rotating mass, which really helps acceleration and braking... and unsprung weight, which helps ride quality and handling over rough surfaces).

If by chance you were referring to Yoda's post, it is a valid post with a good percentage to gain in fuel economy.

True, however if one's car is filled with garbage, they are most likely not as concerned about negative effects of weight addition as the rest of us.
