When to use litersUS gallons

Litres to US liquid gallons divides by 3.785411784 (1 US gal = 3.785411784 L exactly, since 1893 in the US, formalised in 1959). A 5 L jug is 1.32 US gal; a 60 L car tank is 15.85 US gal. The US gallon is about 17 % smaller than the imperial gallon, which is why MPG ratings differ between US and UK — a 30 MPG (US) car achieves 36 MPG (imperial). Always confirm which gallon a quote refers to before converting.

Fuel-economy comparisons between a European litres-per-100km spec sheet and a US mpg rating start here. A 45 L fuel tank is 11.89 gal; a 60 L tank is 15.85 gal; a 90 L heavy-duty tank is 23.78 gal. Because the US gallon and imperial gallon differ by nearly 17%, always confirm a vehicle is US-spec before applying this factor — using it on a UK-market car's tank capacity understates the true US-gallon equivalent.

About the liter and the US gallon

The liter

The liter (L) is a metric unit of volume defined as exactly one cubic decimeter (1 dm³). Although not an SI base unit (the SI unit of volume is the cubic meter), it is the most common metric volume unit in everyday life, used for beverages, fuel, and chemistry. One liter of pure water at 4 °C weighs almost exactly one kilogram.

The US gallon

The US liquid gallon equals exactly 3.785411784 liters, defined as 231 cubic inches. It is the standard fuel and milk unit in the United States. The US gallon is about 16.7% smaller than the UK (imperial) gallon (4.54609 L), so quoting fuel economy as 'mpg' without specifying the gallon can mislead by a wide margin.
