Therefore .7 X 8.34 X number of gallons is your answer.

Either way, a full tank of gas is probably in the area of 100# (taking into account a 16 gallon tank). A variance of 5-10# is not something that you would notice. So, a quick and dirty way to think about it is about 25# per 1/4 tank.

I think your approximation however is just fine in any case.
So, you are Leaving Las Vegas? Good man, nothing there really for a youg upward couple. Though your wife as a physician would have plenty of substrate.

Sorry, but you lost me on the "substrate".

weighing is the only way to get the right number. If you want to calculate you would need to know the weight difference of all the options such as bose, leather, electric seats etc. That stuff isn't published so a trip to the weighing station is the only way to go.

Your wife is a physician and without becoming political, much of medicine is practiced upon the older generations.
Hope this clears it up.

Ah....that helps allegretto! Not much of the medicine has worn off on me but I totally see your point
Jeff........yes the traffic is absolutely HORRIBLE here!!! This city has grown faster than it can accommodate the citizens with the current transportation infrastructure. Drving to the University everyday for me is quite the chore and my wife's commute to the hosiptal can be routinely over an hour each direction. Thank God those days are over. Looking forward to my new home
