Liters to gallons
The liter is the metric unit for liquids, defined as one cubic decimeter. To express liters in US gallons, divide by 3.78541: liters ÷ 3.78541 = gallons. If you need imperial gallons (UK, Ireland, historically Canada), divide by 4.54609 instead — the two gallons differ by about 20 %.
Quick reference
- 1 L = 0.26 gal (a little over a quart)
- 2 L = 0.53 gal
- 4 L = 1.06 gal
- 10 L = 2.64 gal
- 20 L = 5.28 gal (a jerry can)
- 50 L = 13.21 gal (a compact car's tank)
- 100 L = 26.42 gal
- 200 L = 52.83 gal (an oil drum)
- 1000 L = 264.17 gal (one cubic meter)
Mental shortcut
Multiply liters by 0.26, or divide by 4 and add 5 %. So 60 liters is about 15 gallons plus a bit — 15.85 to be exact.
Fuel economy
European cars quote consumption in liters per 100 km; American cars quote miles per US gallon. The two are inverses: mpg = 235.2 ÷ (L/100 km). A car that uses 6 L/100 km does 39 mpg (US); in imperial gallons that would read as 47 mpg, which is why UK and US figures for the same car look so different.
Bottles, kegs and pools
Bottled water comes in 0.5 L (0.13 gal) and 1.5 L (0.4 gal) sizes. A standard 50 L beer keg is 13.2 gallons. A 40 000-liter swimming pool holds about 10 570 gallons. When buying pool chemicals or a pump sold with gallon ratings, convert the pool volume first.
