1 X 8mm hole = Area of 50 square mm

..in 2mm steel = volume of 100 cubic mm or 0.0000001 cubic m

Density of steel = 7850 kg/cubic m

0.0000001 x 7850 = 0.000785 kg or 0.785g per 8mm hole!

All i'm saying is you'd have to drill 375 of these suckers just to offset the cup of tea you drank before you got in the car.
