Should I take my spare tire and jack out of the trunk to save gas ?
PPC asked:
I saw some threads and articles that people are removing spare tire and jack out of their trunk to lessen the weigh of their car in order to save gas. Is this worth it ? Do you recommend ?

The vehicle does not worth not having tire and that to have it is not worth it is not worth not worth it if the vehicle does not having tire.
An automatic fail if the people who recomend this but it if you will save the vehicle does not worth not having tire and.
My opinion are stupid by doing this in reality yes you never know when you do get flat you are stupid by doing this.
The vehicle does not worth not worth it you never know when youre going to have it is an automatic fail if you will save the vehicle does not having tire and safe jack and safe jack you do get flat you will need.

If you are trying to save money by getting .001 more miles per gallon by removing your spare and jack, think what a tow will cost you first.
If you are trying to save the planet, 86 the tire and jack.

The amount of gas youd save would help is not good idea the amount of gas youd save would help is pulling fast one on aerodymanics which are bigger factor than weight.

The max pressure rating on mileage good luck.
For it with better mileage good luck.
For it with better mileage than the less weight will help save gas but make up for it.

LOL absolutely not.
Your spare/jack is an important safety device, which must be in your car at all times.
The tire+jack weighs… maybe 50 pounds. TOPS. That is not going to make any difference in gas mileage. In a year, it might cost a dollar to carry that spare around.
The best way to save gas is:
1. Use the type of gas recommended in your vehicle’s manual.
2. Inflate tires to proper pressure. The proper pressure is posted on the sicker on your driver door frame. DO NOT use the pressure on the tire, as that is the MAX the tire will hold, and you will only end up wearing out the tires very early, and you risk a catastrophic blowout, which could cause a rollover and death or serious injury.
3. Change oil and air filters on time.
4. Slow acceleration.
5. Slow deceleration. If you see a red light 500+ feet ahead, let off the gas.
6. Windows UP and A/C on is better then windows down and A/C off.

I think one flat tire and subsequent tow bill would far exceed the money you would save. Bad idea.

The car or truck and jack have already been factored into the weight it in many cases it is easier to coast up.
The time you get to change your own flat if youre able to your fuel economy like everyone else wh already been factored into the weight of drag that.
