Jerry,
Your ORIGINAL ARGUEMENT WAS....

"Hate to disagree. but there are more BYU's in a GALLON of Avgas than
in a GALLON of Mogas. Why?? Avgas weighs more per Gallon..."

Weight of fuel is irrelevant when it comes to btu/gal....
assuming your BYU reference was meant to be btu.
Btu/gal is a VOLUME measurement, not one of weight.

Thank you for your time and patience.
