How many gallons to the inch are in a 55 gallon drum?

I just created a measure stick for my rain barrel made from a 55 gallon food drum measuring 35.5 inches high. My gal per inch calc is 1.56, so 1 inch equals 1.56 gallons for my barrel. I put interval markings at every 10 gallons so my measurements were as follows: 10 gallons = 6.5" 20 gallons = 12.8" 30 gallons = 19.2" 40 gallons = 25.6" 50 gallons = 32" 55 gallons = 35.5" These are obviousely approximate and estimated for a perfectly tubular barrel, but they are close enough for my purposes.

Based upon actual containers that we use, a more realistic estimate would be from 32 to 36 pounds depending on open or closed type drum.

Why do they put 42 gallons of crued oil in a 55 gallon drum and not 55 gallons?

-- You can put as much or as little as you want to into a 55-gallon drum, as long as you don't exceed 55 gallons. -- A "barrel of oil" is not a 55-gallon drum. It's 35 imperial gallons, which is approximately 42.5 US gallons. (So the price of oil by the barrel is even higher than it sounds.)
