What weighs more, a gallon of water, or a gallon of butane?

A gallon of water because Butane is a lighter fluid.

It is funny because it is also true.

But what if the thief comes back and pays for the butane?

At atmospheric pressure or 38 PSIG?

At STP, water weighs more.

Butane is the bastard gas.

I don't think it matters as long as the temp and pressure are the same for both. So STP or 100 ATM/-40C water is always denser than butane.

On a side note, many gasoline blenders blend about 10% butane into the winter gasoline blends. They can meet the EPA Reid vapor pressure requirements for winter blend with 10% butane. Why butane? It's cheap, usually less than a dollar a gallon.

FYI, STP is 60 degrees F and 1 ATM (14.7 psig).

Yes, and 100 ATM @ -40C (which is also -40F) is significantly different which was my point.

Even if liquified, water is heavier than butane
