Chemical Engineering/vegetable based cooking oil weight

Question
What is the approximate weight or weight range of cooking oil per gallon.  If it makes any difference, I am interested in the weight of used cooking oil.

Thanks
Gordon

Answer
Sorry for the delay, but I have found a link that should have most if not all of what you need.  Off the top of my head the density of most vegetable based oils is 0.9-0.92 g/cc (floats in water), but this link looks to have some more specific info.  I hope this helps.
