I put my 88 SE on a farm scale with a full tank and it said 1980 lbs, just like the door sticker says.

yes.
The only way you could have gotten 1980lbs is if you own a Honda crx.....

I imagine that weight is the weight as unloaded at the port, since that is where the win sticker is printed.

So maybe 5 gallons

Im sure the 12PSI being forced into the intake makes that extra 100lbs negligable....
