I second that request, Ian. I just ordered a G-Tech Pro Competition 
model performance analyzer. It requires a really accurate vehicle 
weight to return meaningful  horsepower, torque and braking performance 
figures. I've been told that places who sell sand and gravel by the 
weight have scales for trucks and weigh the vehicle before and after 
filling it with product in order to deduct the empty truck's weight and 
thus get the weight of the product alone. If this is the case, I know 
of a couple of places, most notably, the big sand and gravel works off 
of Harbor blvd  in Redwood City (go right off of 101). But there are 
places which weigh vehicle for other reasons as well and these might be 
more approachable.
