Fuel Density

... Because no one cares about moles in the real world.

Energy density is the energy given out when 1 Kilogram of a certain fuel is consumed.
E.g. Ethanol is C2H5OH = 46
Delta H = -1367 Kilo joules per mole (Based on a calorimeter experiment)
Delta H = -1367/ 46 = -29.717 Kilo joules per gram.
Delta H = -29.717 x 1000 = -29717 Kilo joules per 1 Kilogram
