Is there any benefits to a lighter flywheel in an ATX? Would the loss in moving mass decrease gas milage? Is it even worth the cost of machining and installation? Any thoughts appreciated.

Sorry no can do,tha ATX has a torque converter with several pints of oil in it.Unless you can find an aftermarket converter that is lighter ,but I've not seen one.
