Hoe reken je gallon naar liter om?
Vermenigvuldig het aantal Amerikaanse gallon met 3,785. Voor de imperiale gallon is de factor 4,546. Kijk altijd welke gallon bedoeld is: een verschil van 20% valt op een tank brandstof meteen op.
liter = Amerikaanse gallon × 3,785Amerikaanse gallon = liter × 0,2642
Waar deze twee eenheden dienen
De liter hoort niet tot het internationale stelsel, dat hem alleen duldt: hij is sinds 1964 precies één kubieke decimeter, na zestig jaar waarin hij door de massa van water werd bepaald, wat hem achtentwintig delen per miljoen groter maakte.

Naar volume wel. Benzine zet ongeveer 0,1% per graad uit, zodat dezelfde gallon tussen 15 en 30 °C ongeveer 1,4% minder stof bevat. De groothandel beslecht dat door netto gallons te factureren, gecorrigeerd naar 60 °F, dus 15,6 °C, terwijl Noord-Amerikaanse pompen in de detailhandel gewoonlijk het brutovolume meten zoals het uit de vulpistool komt.
