UK Gallons

Definition

A UK gallon (imperial gallon) is a unit of volume equal to 4 imperial quarts, 8 imperial pints, or approximately 4.54609 liters. It is about 20% larger than a US gallon.

History

The imperial gallon was defined in the 1824 British Weights and Measures Act as the volume of 10 pounds of water at 62°F. It replaced the earlier English wine gallon (which became the US gallon) and the English beer gallon.

Current use

Imperial gallons are still used for fuel economy ratings in the United Kingdom and Canada (miles per imperial gallon). They occasionally appear in older British recipes and some Commonwealth country measurements.

Current use

US gallons are the standard unit for gasoline pricing and sales, milk containers, water jugs, pool capacity, and paint quantities in the United States. Fuel efficiency is measured in miles per gallon (mpg).
