GVWR is not the curb weight... How do I find it?
According to the manual, I can subtract ((150 x passengers) + luggage) from the GVAR and find the actual weight of the car. However, the "luggage" number is nowhere to be found. Ideas?

I said "actual weight"
Not to be rude, but did you even look at your own sticker?

Yes, I spelled GVWR it wrong originally.
I read the sticker, I read the manual, I searched the forum (in the sorry state that search is in), and I can't really determine what the actual weight of the car is.

most car companies use a rule of thumb=avg passenger is 180lbs-->
we drive a 5 passenger vehicle...gas weights about 7lbs a gallon so you can strip that too.
4552lbs = 5 passengers with a full tank of gas and all fluids.
So...4552-5 passengers=3652 then add whatever you weight..thats what it weights when driving around.
hope this helps.

Ah HAH! Didn't think to look there!
A 1998.5 B5 A4 Avant with a manual transmisson, Sport and Winter packages, and leather non-sport seats weighs 3340 pounds.
Now if I only knew the weight distribution.
