¿Cómo convertir galones a litros?
Multiplica el número de galones estadounidenses por 3,785. Para el galón imperial el factor es 4,546. Comprueba siempre de qué galón se habla: la diferencia del 20 % se nota en un depósito lleno.
litros = galones estadounidenses × 3,785galones estadounidenses = litros × 0,2642
Dónde se usan estas dos unidades
El litro no pertenece al sistema internacional, que se limita a tolerarlo: vale exactamente un decímetro cúbico desde 1964, tras sesenta años definido por la masa del agua, lo que lo hacía mayor en veintiocho millonésimas.

Preguntas frecuentes
¿Galón estadounidense o galón imperial?
El estadounidense son 3,785 l y el imperial 4,546 l. Las webs y recetas de Estados Unidos se refieren al primero, el Reino Unido y Canadá a menudo al segundo. La diferencia del 20 % lo cambia todo en un depósito.
¿Por qué el barril de petróleo son 159 litros?
Porque equivale a 42 galones estadounidenses, un estándar heredado de los toneles de whisky reutilizados en los primeros campos petrolíferos de Pensilvania hacia 1860. La cifra no debe nada al sistema métrico y nunca se ha revisado.
¿Cómo leer un consumo en millas por galón?
Divide 235,2 entre el valor en millas por galón para obtener litros a los 100 km. Un coche de 30 mpg consume 7,8 l/100 km. Las dos escalas van en sentido contrario.
¿Por qué el galón estadounidense mide 3,785 litros?
Porque desciende del galón de vino inglés, fijado en 231 pulgadas cúbicas por una ley de la reina Ana en 1707. Estados Unidos lo conservó intacto tras la independencia, mientras que el Reino Unido barrió en 1824 sus decenas de galones locales en favor de uno solo, más grande. Esas 231 pulgadas cúbicas dan 3,785411784 litros, cifra exacta y no redondeada.
¿Un galón de combustible depende de la temperatura?
En volumen, sí. La gasolina se dilata alrededor de un 0,1 % por grado: entre 15 y 30 °C, el mismo galón lleva cerca de un 1,4 % menos de materia. El comercio mayorista lo resuelve facturando galones netos corregidos a 60 °F, es decir 15,6 °C, mientras que los surtidores minoristas de Norteamérica suelen medir el volumen bruto que sale de la manguera.
