Default weight reduction tips

Hey guys I was just reading the curb weight of my car the other day and its like a freaking boat. Does anyone know some good things to reduce weight such as taking the rear seats out? I dont know how much that takes off but. I know each gallon of gas weighs like 7 lbs but is there anything else i should know. Thanks

+1, I take out my tire also when i hit the track. It probably reduced about 20 lbs. I also go with about a 1/4 tank of gas.
