HI All,
Below posted from the always helpful SELOC board:
<<<Rolling road weight results
From November last year.
quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As chief weigher and holder of the results, I've compiled results for the
8 cars that went on the scales on Saturday.
Each car was weighed and the fuel gauge was read. In an attempt to level
the playing field, I have attempted to calulate the "empty" weight of each
car by subtracting the weight of the fuel in the car. My research has
come up with a weight of 0.72kg per litre of fuel and I've measured
everything to the nearest kg. Obviously, the Elise's fuel gauge is
notoriously inaccurate but I thought it was the best way of doing it.
