Don't like to beat a dead horse, but--

As C.S. Nixon said--"let me make myself perfectly clear"

I agree that a gallon of Mogas has more btu's than a gallon of Avgas


The main reason being--1 gal mogas= 7.422 lbs.
1 gal avgas= 6.978 lbs.

Q.E.D.

Jerry,
Your pet horse may be dead...
but, the autopsy is not yet complete.
Check out the posts after yours.

P.S.
You made yourself perfectly clear while absorbed
in computing one error after another. G

I simply choose to cut to the chase,
posting what the experts established,
probably, a half century ago.

HOW it's done, matters not to me.
I could have presented the math here,
if required, and had your ambition.

Kudos for your efforts and more importantly...
your willingness to admit mistakes. Takes a
real man to do that.

Be well.
