Weighed the car at the county landfill

2003 FX35, AWD, Tech Pack, Stillen, z-tube, pulley, Full tank of gas, and me and a little bit of stuff.

Do not know the varience.

4560 lbs

How could this be ? '03 and '04 FX brochures quote 4204 lbs for V6 AWD model. How much weight can a couple of aftermarket parts, full tank, some stuff and yourself possibly add ? Unless your name is Ruben Studdard, that is.

How could this be?

Hrmph. Many of the landfills in CA are operated by Waste Manglement- don't forget, Tony Soprano is in "waste management", too- so I'd be completely unsurprised if those scales end up reading high.

dry weight is 4200

add in 20+ gallons of fuel, and it sounds okay....

((plus that mysterious 'lump' wrapped in a blanket that was disposed of.....))

Here is some things that could add weight that I forgot about:

* Cargo Mat * Cargo cover * Cargo Net
* First aid kit * Geogia rugs * Head phones
* 2 dvd w/ cases * 20 cds * purse
* Heavy blanket * car seat * spare tire
* splash guards * 12 coats of zanio
* car phone and charger

And no, not very heavy. I am 5'8'' and 125lbs.

Obviously the car fluids way a **** of a lot.

one US gallon of fuel = 6 lbs (±)

so if you have 20 gallons (at least), thas good for 120lbs of weight.......

What about the ol' "a pint's a pound the world around"?
By that reckoning, a gallon weighs about 8 lbs. Or is gasoline that much lighter than water? :?
Weigh in, experts! :wink:

This week has been good for the noggin: I've learned what gas and water weighs, Britney is a dog, and my porn name is Gunther Montana. I love this place!

 

[esemes]

1 gallon of water equals 8.33 lbs.
1 gallon of gasoline equals 5.8 to 6.5 lbs.
1 gallon of ethanol equals 6.59 lbs.
