At 60 degrees Fahrenheit, a gallon of pure water weighs 8.34 pounds, whereas a gallon of vehicular gasoline weighs about 6.15 pounds at that temperature. == == Diesel weights about 7.1 pounds per gallon. The answer is really in relation to how much more work the car/vehicle has to do carrying more gas around. Then I suppose you have to offset it with how uneconomic it is to have to regularly stop and fill up. Slowing a car and then accelerating again wastes gas. I suggest removal of all stop signs in the US (I am from the UK by the way)!

How do you figure miles per gallon?
Start with a full tank of gas. Note the mileage on the odometer. When it's time to fill up, note the ending mileage and the number of gallons it takes to refill the gas tank. Subtract the ending mileage from the beginning mileage to determine how many miles you went on that tank of gas. Divide that number of miles by the number of gallons it took to fill the tank.Example:Starting mileage: 12,000Ending mileage: 12,360Total miles driven on tank: 360Gallons of gas to refill tank: 14So, 360/14 = 25.7 miles per gallon
