Matt,

According to Wikipedia: "Avgas has a density of 6.02 lb/US gallon at 15 °C".
Not sure how 'correct' this is.


One of the material data sheets at Shell's website says their 100LL is
0.718 kg/L at 15 C.

0.72 kg/L is 6.02 lb/US gallon.

I guess it depends on how "exact" you want your calcs to be. I mean,
come on, do you actually weigh yourself before you do each and every
w&b calc?
