It was on TV last year how they get the mpg for some cars, which included removing the seats and even the brake pads.

Take the back seats out, take all the seats out, remove the doors, the 8 track
player, the parcel shelf, the nodding dog and the ash trays and it won't make
the slightest bit of difference to the MPG figures when the car remains static
for the entire test.



It does, however, make a difference to the acceleration figures.
