It weighs approximately 6.02 lbs per US gallon ( approx 0.72 kg/liter) at "standard temperature" - defined as 15 degrees celsius (59 degrees Fahrenheit). Its density increases to 6.4 lbs per US gallon (0.77 kg/l) at -40 C (also -40 F) and 5.9 lbs per gallon ( 0.7kg/l) at 38 degrees C (100 degrees F). 100LL " avgas " is used in most small aircraft with reciprocating (piston) engines, though some use mogas or ethanol and some new engines are using diesel and/or Jet A. Turbine engines generally use "Jet A" which is more similar to kerosene or diesel. (which is about 7 lbs per gallon)

What type of fuel does a Cessna 172 use?
Aviation fuel. In the past, they could run on 80LL or 100LL. 80LL is no longer available. Unleaded avgas types, such as 93UL, 94UL, 100LL, 102LL, etc. are still undergoing certification.

100 octane. This is why aviation fuel (avgas) is typically called 100LL, which stands for 100 octane, low lead.
