How many litres in a gallon??

Hello

What ratio of litres per gallon do you use? It makes an interesting conversion to you fuel economy figures.

I googled it today and got 4.55 litres per gallon. I thought the UK was 4.25, but I guess I am wrong.

The US use (I think) 3.85 litres per gallon.

According to the site I usually use - www.onlineconversion.com:

1 gallon [UK] = 4.546 09 liter
1 gallon [US, dry] = 4.404 883 8 liter
1 gallon [US, liquid] = 3.785 411 8 liter

and in case you're Abe Simpson:

1 gallon [UK] = 0.015 873 016 hogshead [UK]

Hope that helps,

Nick

You can always ask Google to convert things for you, just type "1 litre in gallons" and it will return a value.

Ahhh, google can't do everything though. I asked it to 'make my evening meal' the other day and it just wouldn't oblige, just throwing up random links to making meals with fruit (?!) and other stuff. Pfff!

How many litres in a gallon?? Not enough at £1 each lol.

Would you really want a gallon to cost even more? £4-50 is big enough!

Why is fuel consumption still expressed in mpg when we've bought the stuff in litres for years?
