But I don't think it is more than a gallon. Water weighs 8lbs per gallon... just to get an idea.

The leather powered seat weighs more than a person would think with the motors and such. Think it is close to 75lbs. Leather passenger seat is easily 25lbs lighter.

Is there a leather passenger seat from a RHD market that has the same airbags as the power driver's seat? If so, I think that would constitute a weight savings while still keeping to the spirit of the OP. It would have the leather, the seat heater, and the airbags. Alternately, could the seat heater and leather be installed on the seat frame of a standard (manual) seat?
