this is my opinion.

lighter flywheel = less rotating mass
less rotating mass = less inertia
less inertia = less energy wasted to get the rotating mass moving
which means that energy can be used elsewhere. like moving the car
theoretically you wont notice it except in lower gears
where internal resistance of the engine are greater(compared the what the cars weight is) due to gearing && torque amplification.

so yes, fuel economy/performance will increase SLIGHTLY

correct me if im wrong.
