The trick about weight savings is you don't just think of it in terms of just one item. Yes the jack doesn't weigh much, 1 gallon of gas doesn't weigh much, etc. But if you run minimum gas, light wheels, remove all the junk from the trunk, floormats, glovebox junk, muffler delete etc. this could be over 100lbs. Now if you can't tell when you have a passenger in the car or not, you just aren't going fast enough yet IMO.

While most of us aren't fast enough that we can't run our fastest run on a full tank with all the junk in the car, it is just smart and very easy prep that does help.
