The UK (imperial) gallon is a unit of volume equal to 160 UK fluid ounces, or exactly 4.54609 liters.
Mathematical Relationship
1 UK gal = 4 UK qt = 8 UK pt = 160 UK fl oz = 4.54609 L ≈ 1.201 US gal.
Conversion Formula
To liters: multiply by 4.54609. To US gallons: multiply by 1.20095. To cubic meters: multiply by 0.00454609.
Practical Applications
UK road signs (mpg), older fuel consumption references, and some Caribbean and Middle Eastern markets that still use imperial units.
Interesting Facts

Common Mistakes
Misinterpreting UK mpg as US mpg — UK figures look higher because the imperial gallon is larger.
Educational Tips
UK gallon ≈ 4.55 L ≈ 1.2 US gallons. The UK gallon was defined so that 1 gallon of water = 10 pounds.
About Dekaliter (daL)
Definition
The dekaliter is a unit of volume equal to 10 liters, sometimes used in agriculture and wholesale trade.
Mathematical Relationship
1 daL = 10 L = 10,000 mL = 0.01 m³. There are 100 daL in one cubic meter.
Conversion Formula
To liters: multiply by 10. To gallons (US): multiply by 2.64172. To cubic meters: multiply by 0.01.
Practical Applications
Grain measurement in agriculture, some wholesale liquid commodities, and European wine production quantities.
Interesting Facts
The dekaliter is one of the least commonly used SI-prefixed volume units, overshadowed by liters for small volumes and hectoliters for large ones.
Common Mistakes
Confusing 'da' (deka, 10) with 'd' (deci, 0.1). A dekaliter is 10 L, while a deciliter is 0.1 L — a 100× difference.
Educational Tips
Think of a dekaliter as a large bucket or carboy holding 10 liters. The prefix 'deka' just means ten.
