There you go!

So a full tank of gas = 15 gallons x 6 = 90 lbs.

Ethanol only has one grade? I know that gas has different gravities, but is all ethanol the same?

ethanol is just 100% grain alcohol. Then its mixed into gasoline at different percentages.

So if it is mixed with different possible combinations of gas it could weigh more or less but the ethanol itself is the exact same type/weight.

OK I got it.
