Conversion Formula
To convert cubic inches (ci) to gallons (gal), use the formula:
Gallons = Cubic Inches ÷ 231
This formula works because one US liquid gallon is exactly 231 cubic inches. So, dividing any volume in cubic inches by 231 gives the equivalent volume in gallons.
For example, converting 6600 ci to gal:
- Start with 6600 cubic inches.
- Divide 6600 by 231.
- 6600 ÷ 231 = 28.5714 gallons.
- Rounded to 4 decimal places, 28.5714 gal.

Conversion Definitions
ci (Cubic Inch): A cubic inch is a unit of volume equal to the space occupied by a cube with each side measuring one inch. It is often used in the United States to measure small volumes, especially in manufacturing and engine displacement. One ci equals approximately 16.387 cubic centimeters.
gal (Gallon): A gallon is a unit of volume primarily used in the United States to measure liquids. The US liquid gallon is defined as exactly 231 cubic inches or roughly 3.785 liters. It is commonly used for fuel, milk, and other liquid quantities in everyday use.
Conversion FAQs
Why is one gallon equal to 231 cubic inches?
The US liquid gallon’s volume was defined by law to equal exactly 231 cubic inches to standardize measurements for commerce and trade. This fixed value provides consistency across industries, so converting between ci and gallons is straightforward using this constant.
Can cubic inches be converted to gallons for any liquid?
Yes, since both units measure volume, the conversion applies to any liquid’s volume regardless of type. However, the mass or weight changes with density, so volume conversion ignores weight differences between liquids.
Is the conversion factor different for UK gallons?
Yes, the UK or Imperial gallon is different from the US gallon. The Imperial gallon equals about 277.42 cubic inches, so converting ci to UK gallons requires dividing by that number instead of 231.
How precise is converting ci to gallons using 231 as divisor?
Using 231 as the divisor yields exact results because the US gallon is legally defined as 231 ci exactly. Precision depends only on the decimal places you choose when expressing the final answer.
Are there any tools or apps recommended for converting ci to gal?
Many calculator apps and online converters support ci to gal conversions. The built-in conversion tool above provides immediate results and is useful for quick calculations without downloading software.
