    1 cubic foot of water = 7.48 gallons, so 1 gal would equal 231 ci. I would imagine a gallon of water should be about the same as gasoline. Maybe someone else knows??

    Please tell me somebody else saw this. A gallon of gas and a gallon of water are the same. A gallon of syrup and a gallon of acid are the same. Its like that old saying which one is heavier, a ton of feathers of a ton of bricks?

    What was I thinking? It seemed to make sense when I was thinking about it. Oh well, trying to make it more complicated than it is

    Dont worry Sean. We all make mistakes. I just think its funny how it went unnoticed for so long. Or at least nobody saying anything about it.

    Thinking about weight and writing about volume. Two different things. Got to laugh about it
