I suggest that we're dealing with semantics in this thread. The convention
for formulating model fuel is by volume. (Got started In the "old days" when
most didn't have balances to blend by weight.) Certainly the most accurate method
for blending fuel is by mass. Temp / gravity corrections, as appropriate,
ensure accuracy to the volumetric formulation.
Due to the high density of nitro, there are obvious differences in what's "in
the jug" between mass and volumetric formulations. Too bad that the fuel
marketers don't specify on their labels. Claims for blending, one way or another,
only address perceived accuracy.
