I will say false. I think that the weight accounts for the small amount of gasoline that was in the Avanti to test it, drive it off the line and drive it onto and off of a transporter.

False is correct here, however, not for the reason you state. Anyone else have any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NHcamper Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 They calculated the weight of a full tank of gas into the shipping weight even though it wasn’t full when it was shipped to the dealership? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shipping weights were for standard equipment only and did not include water, engine oil, and gasoline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
