Conversion FAQs
Is the gallon used here a US gallon or UK gallon?
The gallon used in this conversion is the US liquid gallon, which equals about 3.78541 liters. The UK (Imperial) gallon is different, about 4.54609 liters, so values would differ if converting to UK gallons.
Can I convert liters to gallons without a calculator?
You can estimate by knowing 1 liter is about 0.26 gallons. Multiply your liters by 0.26 for an approximate answer. For precise values, calculator or conversion tools are better.
Why does the conversion factor 0.264172 not look simple?
This number results from the exact volume relation between liters and US gallons. Since they are defined differently (metric vs customary units), the factor isn’t a simple fraction but a decimal approximates the ratio accurately.
Does this conversion apply to all types of gallons?
No, this conversion applies to US liquid gallons only. UK gallons or dry gallons have different volumes, so their conversion factors from liters vary.
