Good Reason to have a 337

[Ed Coffman]

Fuel Energy Content vs. Density
Fuels differ in density, and therefore, in
energy content per unit weight or unit
volume. Less dense fuels, such as avgas,
have a higher energy content per unit
weight and a lower energy content per
unit volume. The relationships are reversed
for more dense fuels.
