I think this is a great idea for someone like me (who has extra room when I travel) barring any drawbacks other than loss of space. The only negative I can think of would be that the weight difference between a stock tire (size) mounted on a stock steelie and the space saver might effect MPG. Do yo know what the difference (in weight) is between the single space saver tire+rim setup and a stock 185/60-15 tire mounted on a stock 15" Yaris steelie?

The difference is almost 12 lbs
