<VV> Slightly OT- Terminology

I'm looking at stats of various cars, esp weights.
And I often see two vastly different values for the same
model; the 'shipping weight' and the 'curb weight'.

Is 'curb weight' simply the weight with a full gas tank and
a crankcase full of oil and antifreeze?

There seems to usually be quite a difference between the two.
