Briefly, the saturated vapor volume of an average gallon of liquid gasoline when fully evaporated is 160.4 gallons of vapor at 60° F and sea level.Vapor volume of a liquid is the number of cubic feet of vapor resulting from the complete evaporation of the liquid. The vapor volume depends on parameters of density, temperature, pressure and molecular weight which is affected by the variety of formulas for gasoline that is comprised of a wide range of hydrocarbons.Several approaches are available to solve this problem. One is shown below.Using a common industrial formula:one liquid gallon = [(8.31) x (SG) x (387 cu ft)] / (MW)Where:8.31 = pounds in gallon of waterSG = specific gravity of liquid being vaporized387 = At standard conditions, one pound-molecular weight of a material will evaporate to fill 387 cubic feet of space.MW= molecular weight of liquid being vaporizedThen using the approximate gasoline constants:one liquid gallon of gasoline = [(8.31 pounds in a gallon of water) x (.70 approx. specific gravity of gasoline) x (387 cu ft)] / (105 molecular weight of average gasoline)= 21.4 cubic feet of vapor volumeThere is 7.481 U.S. gallons in one cubic foot.So:one liquid gallon of gasoline = (21.4 cubic feet) x (7.481)= 160.4 gallons of saturated gasoline vaporThe vapor volume will vary based on the specific formulation of gasoline, pressure, and temperature.D.

Equivalent in what way? Gasoline and water are two entirely different chemical compounds. They have dissimilar physical and chemical properties because, well, they are different. Perhaps you are referring specifically to the weight of a gallon of each. If so, then the weight of a gallon of each substance is not equivalent because the gas is less dense than water, so a gallon of water weighs more. When referring to volume, a gallon of gas is equivalent to a gallon of water. Even a gallon of oxygen is equivalent to a gallon of water, in reference to volume. However, when dealing with gases, pressure, temperature, and the number of molecules of the gas must be taken into account.

About 6.3 pounds.
One US gallon of gasoline weighs about six pounds.
Gasoline weighs about 6.2 lbs per gallon.
The weight of 1 gallon of gasoline equals 5.8 to 6.5 lbs.
The weight of 1 gallon of gasoline equals 5.8 to 6.5 lbs.
Approximately 6.3 pounds.
The mass of water is with 20-30 % higher.
The specific weight of gasoline is 6.073 pounds per gallon. The density of gasoline varies due to the quality of the gasoline, but is generally between 0.71-0.77 kilograms per liter.
6 pounds per gallon
At night or in early morning it tends to be cooler that at midday. Thus gasoline at that time would also be cooler and more dense, so a gallon of gasoline would weight more.Since gas is sold by the gallon, the cooler it is, the more weight (or mass) of the gasoline that you receive would be higher per gallon.OR, you get more actual gasoline per gallon (and per dollar.)
Gasoline is 6 1/2 pounds per gallon. You can do the math.
