How to Convert Deciliter to Gallon (US)
To mL: multiply by 100. To liters: divide by 10. To cups (US): multiply by 0.423.
1 dL = 0.1 L = 100 mL = 100 cm³. There are 10 dL in one liter.
For example, 1 Deciliter (dL) = 0.02641720524 Gallon (US) (gal (US)).

About Deciliter (dL)
Definition
The deciliter is a unit of volume equal to one tenth of a liter (10⁻¹ L), or 100 milliliters.
Mathematical Relationship
1 dL = 0.1 L = 100 mL = 100 cm³. There are 10 dL in one liter.
Conversion Formula
To mL: multiply by 100. To liters: divide by 10. To cups (US): multiply by 0.423.
Practical Applications
Scandinavian cooking recipes, clinical blood test concentrations (mg/dL), and European nutritional labels (per 100 mL = 1 dL).
Interesting Facts
In Sweden and Norway, recipes use deciliters instead of cups. Normal blood glucose is 70–100 mg/dL (fasting).
Common Mistakes
Confusing dL with mL in medical contexts — 1 dL = 100 mL, so a result of 100 mg/dL ≠ 100 mg/mL.
Educational Tips
Remember: 'deci' = tenth. 1 dL = a tenth of a liter = 100 mL. Nordic recipes use dL where Americans use cups.
About Gallon (US) (gal (US))
Definition
The US gallon is a unit of volume equal to 128 US fluid ounces, or approximately 3.785 liters, used for large liquid volumes.
Mathematical Relationship
1 US gal = 4 US qt = 8 US pt = 16 US cups = 128 US fl oz = 3.785411784 L.
Conversion Formula
To liters: multiply by 3.785. To UK gallons: multiply by 0.832674. To cubic meters: multiply by 0.003785.
Practical Applications
Fuel prices ($/gal), milk jugs, water cooler bottles, swimming pool chemicals, and paint quantities.
Interesting Facts
The US gallon is smaller than the UK gallon: 3.785 L vs. 4.546 L. This means UK fuel economy figures look better by number!
Common Mistakes
Confusing US and UK gallons — UK gallons are 20% larger. Fuel economy (mpg) differs significantly between the two systems.
Educational Tips
1 gallon ≈ 3.8 liters ≈ a large milk jug. 4 quarts = 1 gallon. A gallon of water weighs about 8.3 pounds.
