About the liter and the UK gallon
The liter (litre) is 1,000 milliliters, or one cubic decimeter. It is the standard unit for drinks, fuel and fluid capacity almost everywhere outside the US, where gallons are still used at the pump.
The imperial gallon was used across the British Empire and still sits behind UK fuel economy figures in miles per gallon, even though fuel is sold by the liter.
One UK gallon equals 4.54609 liters, which makes the UK gallon the larger unit of the two.
