On B288 a gallon of water weighs 8 lbs not 10 lbs, and the same thing is true if I buy a gallon of water at the store. If California Department of Weights and Measures used the Imperial standards for volume, I would be getting 43% more gas for my money, too.
Also I am not dry goods, but I still weigh 220 lbs and ten of me would one me too many for a ton, not a little less than one.
