Anytime you can lighten the rotating mass, take advantage of it!
The benefits include quicker acceleration/deceleration and the *possibilty* 
of better gas milage if you do a fair amount of stop start driving around 
town (please correct me if I'm wrong - just flying by the seat of my pants 
here).
