I finally took my own advice and cleaned out some of the magazine recycling from the trunk of my car. (After checking that I couldn't sell the magazines on eBay, of course.)
If you're carrying around junk that you don't need in your car (or important stuff that you don't need in your car -- basically anything that has mass) your gas mileage is suffering. About 1 MPG per 100 pounds of extra stuff.
Your friends will appreciate that your lead brick collection is now stored in your garage and away from where they put their feet.
Clean out your car to save $$$
