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.

ya , thats the Per diem for driving, but the "belongings/weight" for the partial DITY is what I'm trying to work out.. we found a way that we might be able to get the USAF to pay to ship the car, we just pay the difference....

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.

IMCARAC (If My Calculations And Research Are Correct)
