The gallon (gal) is a unit of measuring for measuring liquid capacity.

The gallon (gal) is a unit of measuring for measuring liquid capacity. It is used in both US customary and British imperial systems of measurements. There are three different sizes of gallons used today. The imperial gallon is 4.54 liters and common in the Commonwealth states and some Caribbean nations. The US gallon is about 3.785 liters and common in the United States and Latin America. The U.S dry gallon is about 4.405 Litres or 1⁄8 US bushel.

The Imperial Gallon

The imperial or UK gallon is a unit of measurement exactly 4.54609 liters or 277.42 cubic inches. It is common in the Commonwealth countries and some Caribbean states. The imperial gallon was initially based on 10 pounds which translates to 4.54kg of water at 17 °C. The imperial fluid ounce weighs 1⁄160 of the imperial gallon. An imperial gallon is divided into four quarts, each quart is consisting of two pints, and each pint consists of 20 imperial fluid ounces.

US Liquid Gallon

One US gallon is defined as 3.7854 liters or 231 cubic inches. At 62°F (17°C), a US liquid gallon of water is equal to 3.78 kgs or 8.34 pounds. It is 16.6% lighter compared to the imperial gallon. However, just like the imperial gallon, a US gallon is divided into four quarts, each quart is divided into two pints, and each pint contains 16 US fluid ounces. Therefore, it takes 128 US fluid ounces to fill a US liquid gallon. It is common to specify the temperature at which the material will weigh or occupy a particular volume. This is done to overcome the change in volume or mass that results from change in temperature. In the US, the weight of alcoholic and petroleum products are defined as 60°F (16°C).

US Dry Gallon

The US dry gallon is equal to an eight of the Winchester bushel, 268.8025 cubic inches, or 4.4.5 liters.

1 Gallon [Fluid, US] = 3.7854118 Liters

1 Gallon [Dry, US] = 4.4048838 Liters

1 Gallon [UK] = 4.54609 Liters

Global Usage of Gallons

The imperial gallon was used in the UK until 1994. The fuel economy, in particular, operated on gallons in Canada, the UK, and the US. The EU directive 80/181/EEC effected on December 31, 1994, barred the continued use of the gallon for trading and official purpose in favor of the liter. However, the gallon could still be used as a secondary unit of measurement. On September 30, 1995, the UK amended its legislation and adopted the liter. Several states in the Caribbean and South America are still using the gallon. In 2010, the United Arab Emirates adopted the use of the liter and began selling petroleum products in liters. In 2015 the states of Antigua and Barbuda also switched to the liter.

Gas is cheap, right? Last year the national average at the pump was a paltry $2.25/gallon. That means if you had a 12-gallon gas tank, you could fill up for less than $30. Gas this “inexpensive” should bring huge benefits to American families.

But that $2.25/gallon? It’s only a fraction of what you pay to fill up your car or truck. The truth is, you’re actually paying much, much more.

What you really pay is closer to $6.13/gallon—a staggering $73.56 per fill up.

What you don’t pay directly at the pump, you’re paying through higher taxes to fund our military’s efforts to defend oil and oil trade routes around the globe. You’re paying through increased healthcare costs, as our medical system is forced to deal with all the people sickened by the air pollution coming out of vehicle tailpipes. You’re paying through the damage that climate change—caused and accelerated by the greenhouse gas emissions from our cars and trucks—wreaks on our communities. You’re paying through all the money our government gives away to oil companies in the form of subsidies.

Here’s a breakdown of all the hidden costs:

But we don’t just pay with money—there’s a human toll too. We pay with the lives of our brave men and women in uniform, sent overseas to secure oil companies’ access to crude. The lives of those in communities caught in the path of extreme weather events worsened by climate change. The lives of the tens of thousands of Americans who fall victim to the toxic particles we spew into the air.

So the next time you fill up, remember: You’re not just paying the number that flashes up on the gas pump. You’re actually paying much, much more. And until we end our dependence on oil, Americans will continue to feel a drain on our wallets and well-being—one way or another.
