 * When discussing gallons, we have to specify the country it is used as other countries may use a different volume. For example the imperial UK gallon is legally defined as 4.54609 litres. (In Britain the litre is the most commonly used measurement of volume of a liquid. But some industries in Britain may use the UK gallon even if it is obsolete. But the law states they must also state it in litres.)
