Larry,

I have a '91 Carat (that's alloy wheels, A/C, PS, PB, PW, Central Locks,
Cruise Control, rear-facing second row seats and a table, running the original
2.1L WBX).
In an all factory config (original alloys, before my recent change out),
at the Solid Waste Authority in Palm Beach County, my van weighed in at 3800
pounds on the scale as I left the dump.  Subtracting my 210 pounds and you
have a '91 Carat weighing around 3600.  I do not recall the amount of fuel in
it at that time.....
