About litres and us gallons
The litre is the everyday metric unit of volume, used for fuel, drinks and engine capacity across most of the world.
The US liquid gallon is used for fuel and milk in the United States. It is noticeably smaller than the imperial gallon still referenced in the UK, which is why fuel economy figures do not transfer directly between the two.
Accuracy
This converter uses the US liquid gallon, defined as exactly 3.785411784 litres. The imperial gallon used in the UK and Canada is 4.54609 litres — about 20% larger — so a US "gallon" of fuel is not the same quantity as an imperial one.
