Default does this weigh in look accurate?

A friend of mine is a sherrif and has 4 truck scales that are from the department, theyre 4000$ units so he says.. i put my car on them, 1050 on the front 2 tires, and 650 on the rears.. this was with a full tank of gas in a loaded 90gt. the trunk is gutted with aluminum low CAs, rad, no smog, and subframes.
totaled out about 3400 with the about 14 gallons of gas... how much does a gallon of gas weigh? I need an accurate # to give the correct specs for my custom cam...

do these #s look about right to u guys?

+1 for the 7lbs per gallon.

Its sounds about right for a full weight GT with a full tank of gas.
