The most profitable weight savings can often be had by putting the driver and his passengers on a diet.

And buy gas 5 gallons at a time.

Otherwise you can start looking at replacing all the side windows with polycarbonate and scrape off the anti-corrosion goop from the underbody. While you're there, crawling on the garage floor, some OZ Racing 18" rims and smaller brake discs will help your suspension by reducing sprung weight.
 
Buy a PV, they weight 2,150 lbs (976 kg) with everything installed still.

(just don't run into anything, they're a bit of a death trap).

Run around with the tank almost empty so you burn up the fuel pump.
 
Just do something like this

So fun...:lol:
Yhaa. I'm dieting and sorry I have some company to joy with even it is 940...555.

My point is fuel economy.
My way is stop and go I drive approx100km per day.
Even now with 16vT power, I always need to squeeze pedal to follow honda civic....555
I hope if I can save more weight it can help me save pay per day, and may help to come across honda...

Help me brickster....!!!

Yeah well I mean if you compare our old bricks to a modern hybrid... go buy a new car then if you're concerned about fuel economy.

Seriously though that number seems a bit high to me, you can also improve your mileage by adapting your driving style to some degree as well.
I have a 945 Turbo with a 16T at 0,9 bar boost and I'm driving between 9.0 and 10.0L / 100km on regular pump gas in mixed city / highway setting, which is about 10-11km/l in your E85 calc.
 
I can't find it - but there was a thread somewhere about the undercarriage of these cars. The rear bumper acts like a big parachute, air gets trapped there. If you want better mileage, have a clean clean engine, manual box is better than auto and yeah, might worth checking what's under it.
Better aero > lighter car once its launched and at speed. Newer cars are much heavier and yet they drink less fuels.
My 2 cents. Also check this tire pressure !
Carbon parts costs quite some money.
Weighs reduction can get pricey quickly. Rather spend money on making the brick slick and running well.

Edit : fuel. check if too rich. I'd rather spend 200 bucks on an AFR gauge than on a carbon "engine bay cover" (Boot/Bonnet I guess ^^)

Edit two : FOUND IT !! Check THIS http://www.cleanmpg.com/community/index.php?threads/5145/ Def a mod I'll look into
