Think of it this way for every pound you lighten on a rotating mass the engine sees it as a 4 times reduction --the further out rom the center of rotation it can multiply even more---so if you take out 2 pounds of axle the resistance that the engine has to overcome is approx. 8 pounds plus the car actually weighs less also--Comp 387
