That depends on how much you have! A tanker full of the stuff weighs more than a gallon of it. What you probably meant to ask is how much it weighs per unit volume. In other words, you wish to know its density. The specific gravity of gasoline is about 0.72. That is, it's about 72 percent the density of water. Since a gallon of water weighs 8.34 pounds per gallon, we can easily calculate the density of gas as 6.00 pounds per gallon. By the way, I say "about" above because the density of gasoline varies with temperature.

It depends on the specific density of the gasoline in question. This can usually be found at the pump along with its octane ratings (RON and MON)

But it will fall in the range of 5.8 to 6.5 lbs (Source: U.S. Dept. of Energy. Fuel From Farms)

It is lighter than 1 gallon of water which is approximately 8.33 lbs

How much does 1 cubic foot of gasoline weigh?

It is not possible to answer the question without knowing the volume (quantity) of the gasoline. One gallon weighs from 5.8 to 6.5 pounds, depending on the temperature when you weigh it. Water holds similar weight properties as gasoline, so you may wish to test this by weighing one gallon of hot water and one gallon of cold water and taking the average. Don't measure, pour or heat gasoline!! Gasoline wegihs 6.08 pounds per gallon, diesel weighs an average of 7.1 pounds per gallon, water weighs 10.0 pounds per gallon. I Taransport gasoline daily and have been for the past 14 years.
