About this tool
The liter (L), defined as the volume of a 10 cm cube, is the metric unit of volume used across most of the world for fuel, beverages and everyday liquids.
The US gallon is the customary unit of volume used in the United States for fuel economy, milk and paint. It is defined as exactly 3.785411784 liters — and notably differs from the separate UK imperial gallon (about 4.546 liters), a common source of confusion.
This converter is most often used to compare fuel prices or fuel economy figures between the US and countries that use liters, or to convert a US recipe or product volume.
