I just need to know the number for the density of gasoline for 1 gallon of it.
Thanks much!

The density will be the same no matter how much you have. It is less than 1 because it floats in water. A gallon of gas weighs 6 pounds. A gallon of water weighs 8 pounds. So it is around 6/8 or .75 That was just an estimate.
I just checked in a reference and it says .66g/ml

The density is the same no matter how much of it you have since it is the ratio of the mass to the volume. If you increase the volume you increase the mass in a fixed ratio.
Since it is lighter than water its density will be less than 1 g/ml., or 0.711 to 0.730 g/ml. Or 711 to 730g/liter.
One gallon would have the same density.

The density of gasoline is about 3.03 kgs/Gal. Or, about
6.65 pounds/Gal. That is, one gallon would weigh about 6.65 lbs.

Gasoline, natural at 60 degrees F is 711.22 kilograms per cubic meter.
Gasoline, Vehicle at 60 degrees F is 737.22 kg/m^3.
1 Cubic meter is 264.17205 gallons, so I'll use vehicle gasoline and divide 737.22 / 264.17205 = 2.7907 kilograms per gallon.
If you need it in pounds, one kilo is 2.2046226 pounds, so I multiply to get 6.15243 pounds per gallon.
It's 6.15243 pounds per gallon or 2.7907 kilograms per gallon, depending on what mass unit you need.
