Well, in terms for regular people like you and me. Its a mod for people that are really serious about weight reduction. The same people that put in NST pulleys to increase RPM and fuel efficiency, that install short-shifters to decrease lag time in between gears, that get rid of the spare tire and rear seat in order to reduce weight. I am sure that reducing 20lb by simply replacing a battery could have a positive effect when combine with other fuel saving techniques.

Is it for everyone? I don't know, probably not. Could you benefit from it? I believe so.
