The weight of gasoline is dependent on temperature.  It also depends on how
much alcohol has been added. Today, that's sometimes a lot. So we come up
with:  
1 gallon of water equals 8.33 lbs. 
1 gallon of gasoline equals 5.8 to 6.5 lbs. 
1 gallon of ethanol equals 6.59 lbs.

Automotive gasoline has a density of about 737.22 kilograms per cubic meter
at 60 degrees F. Doing conversions yields 6.152 lbs per US gallon.
