How much does F1 racing fuel weigh per litre/gallon?

[kriptone]

Hi All,
As an armchair fan of Formula 1, I am continually perplexed as to why the ITV F1 team always refer to kilos of fuel rather than litres or gallons. Call me thick if you like but I cannot work out the fuel consumption of the cars from x number of kgs put in will last for x number of laps without knowing the weight!

Apologies if this is an old question that is addressed elsewhere

The exact value will vary between suppliers, but I'd use 0.75 kg/litre as an approximation.

Thanks, this has confuddled me for some time! Now I can watch GP's and know with some degree of certainty how much Alonso, Button etc are using. Cheers
