Formula
US gal = L ÷ 3.785411784 ; imp gal = L ÷ 4.54609= 13.208602617907
Note
This result is a simplified model: it converts the single value you entered with the exact factors shown, and rounds to the display precision. It does not know your measurement's accuracy, and cooking or density conversions depend on how an ingredient is packed. Check critical figures against the original units.

US gallons or UK (imperial) gallons — which does this calculator use?+
The calculator distinguishes between the two, since they're different sizes: 1 US gallon = 3.785411784 litres, while 1 UK imperial gallon = 4.54609 litres. Always check which one applies to your context (US recipes and fuel vs. UK/Commonwealth fuel and beverage measures).
Why is a UK gallon bigger than a US gallon?+
The two countries historically standardized gallons differently: the US kept an older wine-gallon definition, while the UK adopted a larger gallon based on the volume of 10 pounds of water. The UK gallon ended up about 20% larger as a result.
How many litres are in a US quart or pint, for reference?+
A US gallon splits into 4 quarts and 8 pints, so a US quart is about 0.946 litres and a US pint is about 0.473 litres. These subdivisions follow directly from dividing the 3.785-litre gallon.
I'm comparing fuel economy between a US and UK source — what should I watch for?+
Besides the gallon size difference, US fuel economy is usually given in miles per (US) gallon while UK figures may use miles per imperial gallon — mixing them without converting both the distance and volume units will give a badly wrong comparison.
Why doesn't 1 litre convert to a round number of gallons?+
Litres and gallons come from entirely different historical measurement systems (metric vs. English units), so there's no reason for a clean ratio between them — 1 litre is about 0.264 US gallons, an irregular but exact figure.
