Density of water at ambient temperature is around 0.996kg/litre.
Density of gasoline varies, but is usually between 0.670 - 0.700kg/litre.

Gasoline is an organic compound, which means when exposed to oxygen it begins to evaporate. It would have to be weighed under conditions where it cannot evaporate in order to get an accurate reading.

Depends on volume. Try this:
Fill a bucket with water, then one with gas. Throw a lit match into the bucket of gas while you hover directly over it. Then do the same thing to the water. The answer will be evident.

They weigh the same. They have different densities however. Gerrygollw is incorrect, layering when mixed is a result of density, not weight.

Depends on how much you have. For instance, if I had a cup of marbles, and a bucket of marbles, the bucket would way more than the cup.
