I have a roughly 10' x 8' space I'd like to cover with 2" of gravel. I checked top ranked google site and their calculator suggested 1600 pounds* with the grain size set to 3/8". That seems a bit off.

Edit: wrote tons instead of pounds

Pro tip: get it delivered. Most trailers are not built to carry the weight of that much gravel and will fail in Exciting And Unexpected Ways. You will not enjoy this.

lol. I haul 12000 pounds (6 Tons) of gravel regularly. I think you're assuming that people are dumb. Wait, you're probably right.

Seriously, haul it yourself if you have a trailer. Don't be stupid and overload your trailer or your trucks hauling capacity. It's half the price.

Huh. Around here delivery is $75 per truckload. Doesn't matter if you order 1 yard or 10.
