Oh VERY good. VERY, very, VERY good!

Aviation fuel weighs 6 pounds/gallon.



So let me draw some conclusions here:

Most people do not know the ratio of salt to water in their salt water.
Salt water weighs more per gallon than does fresh water.
Aviation fuel weighs less per gallon than both salt and fresh water.
Aviation is more inflammable than both water and salt water.
