The only person who can drive a dry weight cart is Fred Flintstone.
In case you were referring to my post.....

The weight I used for the lithium cart, 664lbs, was *with* batteries. (Nothing "wet" for lithium, not even the batteries)
The "dry weight" number is for the gas cart and is 714lbs. Adding 30lbs each for the fuel and battery brings it to 774lbs.
I have these numbers from my owner's manual but it is easy to check this online too!

No spouting advantages, just trying to provide real numbers from legitimate sources rather than making claims based on numbers pulled from somewhere else.

Confirmation bias is real; I can find any number of articles that say so.
