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 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.
