I got the idea the try the Braille lightweight battery from another member. The batteries are quite small and light
http://www.brailleauto.com/ , mine cost 190.00 delivered. They have two sizes, if you are not in a cold climate they say you can get away with using their 11 lb battery, I opted for the 15 lb unit.
I also thought about not having the spare in the car, but if I get a flat I cannot repair, I have no place the put the flat tire anyway, time will tell.
BTW, I had always noticed that the car was a little quicker when the gas tank was almost empty (6 lbs/gallon). With the weight trimming, it feels like I always have an empty tank and then some. I dont know if that difference is as pronounced in those big hp "S" models, but this little 2.7L likes to run light....
