I fully read your post but as tranzformer mentioned, it seems like you want to reduce weight but add more in other areas!?! Not bashing but trying to make sense of the situation. I can see weight reduction becoming a factor if it's say a 60/40 or even 70/30 car.

Yeah, that would be a hefty price to pay for a 2 mpg increase. Good thing that reducing weight pays dividends to every aspect of performance...braking, cornering, acceleration, mpg, tire life....
I guess I don't see why you're having trouble understanding why I would want to reduce weight. This car centers around being light-weight. Of course I want to make it more-so.
It's a mass produced car. There will be numerous things that can be swapped out for better quality, lighter weight components without impacting the day-to-day comfort.
