omniphil Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 (edited) I removed my 3rd row leather seats from my 2014 Transit Connect as I'm never going to have 7 people in it and wanted the extra storage space. And I like to weigh everything.... Each seat with hardware is 55.93 lbs for a total of 111.86 lbs Pretty good chunk of weight. I gained the equivalent of 1 hp and 1/4 MPG The engine is still being broken in however I was happy to see the computer showing 28.9 MPG on this tank so far with probably about 85% highway driving (100 lbs of dry weight is roughly equivalent to adding 1 hp and 400 lbs of dry weight is roughly equivalent to 1 MPG) Edited October 5, 2014 by omniphil Lionel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
