Gasoline is 6.183 pounds per gallon.
US or UK (imperial) gallon? There is a difference.

Ah - but that raise two problems...
1. How much does a pound weigh in new money?
2. Whose gallon - yours or ours?

Hold up guys, the best RT's ever built are the 2010-13 models.
Building sandbag fire wall as i type....... :kacsint2:
You are obviously in denial mode and you know full well they were stop gap models with a borrowed engine. All down to the extended development time of the LC .
And the borrowed tuned down engine fitted to the TC is the best engine they ever built.

One of the reasons they threw it away and started again. When they run out of bits they will probably stop using it in the Nine T.

Be careful. Put US gallons into a UK tank and they don't fit properly. Next post will be to ask about a mysterious rattling noise.

That would be my fillings when riding our 2010 RTP with the best engine they ever built 8) Got to say though, don't feel as much vibration though the bars as my LC
