An American gallon is by definition 231 cubic inch. Since an inch is by definition 2.54 cm the definition of an American gallon is:

1 american gallon = 3.785411784 liter (exactly)

Other units are derived from the gallon:

1 gallon = 4 quarts or 8 pints or 16 cups

How do you convert Imperial gallons to US gallons?

* U.S. liquid gallon is legally defined as 231 cubic inches, and is equal to (exactly) 3.785411784 litres (1 L = 10-3 m3) or about 0.13368 cubic feet. This is the most common definition of a gallon in the United States. The U.S. fluid ounce is defined as 1/128 of a U.S. gallon. * U.S. dry gallon is one-eighth of a U.S. Winchester bushel of 2150.42 cubic inches, thus 268.8025 cubic inches (exactly) or 4.40488377086 litres (exactly). The U.S. dry gallon is less commonly used. * Imperial (UK) gallon is legally defined as 4.54609 litres (≈ 277.42 cu in), which is about 1.2 U.S. liquid gallons. This definition is used in Commonwealth countries and Ireland, and is based on the volume of 10 pounds of water at 62 °F. (A U.S. liquid gallon of water weighs about 8.33 pounds at the same temperature.) from WikiAlso there is a converter on this site:http://www.csgnetwork.com/fuelvolumeconverter.html
