Jet fuel is diesel fuel, which is generally cheaper than high-octane gasoline.
A gallon of water and a gallon of gasoline have the same volume measure. A gallon, which is a measure of volume, is a gallon, is a gallon. But the gasoline is less dense than water, so it will weigh less. The weight of a gallon of water is about 8.34 pounds , while a gallon of gasoline weighs in the ball park of about 6.25 pounds, depending on the fuel. The gallon of water, which is the same volume as a gallon of gasoline, weighs a bit over 2 pounds more because the water is more dense.
Less than 3 cents a gallon.

Yes. Kerosene has 140,000 btu's per gallon and gasoline has less.
Here's the thing: Ethanol has less energy per gallon than gasoline and diesel, so for a given power output an engine will use more ethanol than it would have used diesel or gasoline. Miles per gallon will be poorer. But that's not the whole story. Ethanol - being considered more eco-friendly - is often a lot less expensive than diesel and gasoline. So even if you're using more of it, the cost-per-mile can be lower than for gasoline or diesel.
It is an advertising ploy. Service stations know that ending the advertised price for gasoline with 9/10ths makes drivers feel they are paying less for fuel. When you see the price for gasoline at $3.60 and 9/10 per gallon your brain registers this as 3.60 per gallon, not $3.61.
Current prices, which have risen some 60% in the past year, range from $4.50 to $5.50 and up per gallon for Jet A. Some carriers who were able to hedge their fuel purchases (by buying future fuel at fixed costs) may be paying much less. The military also pays less for their fuel. I think today's military fuel may only cost around $3.50 per gallon.
Diesel lasts five times longer, and gets double the miles per gallon. Gas cost a little less to get reparied, and the engine cost less if you are buying new. Diesel is way better though!
One gallon equals 4 quarts. Four liters equals 4.2 quarts. Therefore, one gallon is slightly less than four liters.
Years ago the price of gasoline was very less expensive. For example in the year 1993 the price of gasoline was approximately $1.11 per gallon.
The density of No. 2 diesel fuel is 850 grams/liter = 1.874 pounds/liter = 7.15 pounds per US gallon. Regular gasoline is considerably less dense: 6.0 to 6.3 pounds per gallon.Depends on temperature, from 6.9lbs when cold to 7.2 lbs per gallon when warm
We just purchased 100 gallons in Bryan, Texas at $2.90/gallon. This seems high, since I thought propane would cost less than auto fuel per gallon.
