Default weight reduction...?

I would assume anything you can do to reduce the total H2 weight would go a long way towards improving gas mileage. hey every little bit helps...

So are there things that owners here have done to drastically reduce their H2's weight?

H2s aren't racing ricer mobiles! The more weight and less gas mileage the cooler you are. I think removing 100lbs equals like 1/10th second off your quarter mile, which in mpg terms roughly equates to...nothing.

You could remove the interior, toss anything that's powered and not essential (windows, onstar module, etc), replace roof with plastic and... wait...that's starting to sound like a Jeep! Stop!
