well, to make things short: gasoline should weigh less than water, so measure a gallon of water and you know it will be less than that.
some numbers I found while browsing are .74 times the weight of water, as well as a final number close to 6.3 lbs per gallon..it also depends on ethanol treatment and other additives as well...
again, don't quote me on this as I have not done the measurement my self :D
if you have a lawn mower, you probably have a gas can of 1 gallon...
