Wow - been a while since I looked at PCS reimbursment rates. Eff 1 Jan 14 it's $0.235 / mile. With gas prices and wear/tear, I thought it'd be a lot more.

3190 is the unladen DIN weight in the specifications for your model. DIN weight = 90% full fuel tank, spare tyre, tools, no driver.

90% full tank (77 litres) = 123lbs ... therefore unladen weight with empty tank for stock factory car = 3067 lbs.
