I weighed my coupe with me in it and a full tank on the scales at MIR and it rang in at 3450, which is about right. I weigh 260, so that explains alot.
Didn't I just say that?

The way I was told it works:

GVWR = 3,671 2005 Roadster (from door sticker)
- 415 (Max Capacity-2 people) (from door frame sticker)
- 111.3 (15.9 Gal gas @ 7 lb/gal)
3,144.7 (Curb Weight empty)

Or am I wrong?
