40 * .72 = 28.8kg, 1249+28.8 = 1277.8
Edit: I will admit there is a spectrum owing to how the fuels are mixed or have settled - but even @ a .77 wieght its still under 1280. And again, this is WITH a full spare wheel in the trunk.

Your calculations are correct, and I wonder why Carsales would have such a discrepancy between both weights. I checked their definition of Tare, and it includes the 10L of fuel as mentioned.
No idea where the other extra kg's are coming from, but happy if it actually weighs less!
