No, i leave it on my passenger seat...

What a weird question you are asking..for your weird question, you will get my weird answer.

If one day your tyre puncture, you call your parents/wife to bring a tyre to you ar?!

The next time tell your car SE to give you discount because you told him you don't want the spare tyre.

I think you will gain like 0.5%-1% better fuel economy from removing the spare tyre.

The gain's insignificant, there are better ways to save fuel out there, yo!

Best answer ..

here is my two cents of how to save fuel ..

1. No .. u dont remove spare tire.. instead .. use them .. get another 3 .. throw ur current one .. smaller tires less friction .. save more fuel
2. Remove un-use seats .. put a few mamak stall plastic chairs when there is passenger.
3. keep fit .. yourself
4. pee, shit before you drive your car. it might weight up to 500g or more..
5. try not to drink so much water before u drive.. 1L water almost 1kg weight
6. long pants.. jacket .. No please.. its heavy .. singlet and boxer pants recommended.
7. .. and the list goes on ..

cabut..

For better fuel consumption, here are my tips:
1. Fill your car tank FULL on Sunday.
2. Take LRT to go to work from Monday to Friday.
3. Go inside your precious car and look at your fuel gauge.
4. It's FULL.
5. Fantastic fuel consumption unlocked!
6. Repeat step #2.

my spare tyre is 20 years old and will not fit any of my wheels haha. It will not bolt on due to some unique clearance + weird rim choice issues.

I still keep my spare in the boot to reduce 'sounds'... yeah sounds weird but its true... you should try it. also sort of works as something to get squashed in event i get rear ended.

wana add that, generally speaking, most car's rear seats aint that heavy... its the front seats which are heaviest.
