it's already as light as it can be, just look at the thin wires and p*ss-poor insulation.

Indeed, but even then there can be a reasonable weight saving when one cuts out all the unneeded stuff (but there are easier, more efficient ways to save weight)

If you are running a stripped track car in top level competition it might be worth the gain, if you have a road car just binning the spare for a fix a flat can will save you more weight, or replacing the seats with some fixed buckets, or even half filling the windshield spray reservoir TBH.
