Why tonnage??? At 7 lbs per gallon, 4300 tonnes is over 1.3 million gallons, Why don't they just tell it like it is?

I don't know. Maybe because tonnage can be converted to whatever unit of measure you want. By the way, did you factor in that a "tonne" is a metric ton, 1000kg or 2200 lbs?

How many barrels per ton? Seven? That would save on memory storage.
