A gallon of water has a mass of 8.32 pounds with a density of 1.00; and with
Gasoline having a density of 0.67; you multiply the mass of one gallon of
water by 0.67 for the answer. Let's see water at 8.32 pounds/gallon if
memory serves times 0.67 = 5.57 pounds/gallon of gasoline. You could work
out the ratio by molecular masses but the above approach might be the most
simple.
