Just quickly....is the U.S. gallon equal to 3.785 litres or 4.404 litres?

Thanks

3.7854117

There are a variety of U.S. Customary, British Imperial and metric (SI) units for volume. Why is metric the best choice? Consider:

• The U.S. has two definitions of the pint and quart called the dry and wet measures. Each has a different size, something most Americans probably don't even realize.
• The U.S. system has an ounce which refers to a fluid volume, but also an ounce that refers to mass; these are not interchangeable. In general, an ounce of liquid does not weigh an ounce!
• The British Imperial system of liquid and dry measure uses only one ounce, pint and quart, but these differ from any of the U.S. measures as does the British Imperial gallon, peck and bushel.

Gallon
(gal, U.S.)There are 128 ounces = 8 pints = 4 quarts in a gallon. 1 gallon = 3.785 liters.

1 gallon (U.S.) = 231 cubic inches = 3.785 liters = 0.833 British gallon

Google rockz!

Thanks Lakedude!


I thought so...but the online metric conversions quoted dry and wet???


How can you have a dry gallon???


In Aus I'm getting 55mpg converted because it's 4.45 litres per gallon.

It's old school talk over here now. We've been metric for 30 years or so, so everyone talks L/100klm.

I'd rather talk Kilometres per litre...but there you have it.

I guess that 45mpg is not that bad considering the traffic I have to cope with.

I'll post a photo one day to show you what I mean. I could get out and swim faster sometimes!

Thanks.

You are welcome....and lucky I can't sleep.....not normally up this time of day....zzz..zzzz
