It's about 3.8 liters to a gallon (for a total of about 10.55 gallons).
Wild, I didn't know there was a different gallon measurement (There's a few apparently).
mostly unrelated, but after poking around on Wikipedia, I've also learned that there's two different versions of fluid ounces (Edit: that are used actively in the US, forgot to add that), and both are used on food labels simultaneously, but relating to different things.

I'm the one that doesn't want to learn anything then you drop an "England" on me? I'm Scottish or does that not matter because is it too much for you to learn that the UK is more than England?
I do know that but my point is that I shouldn't have to know that. Imperial fluid measurements outside the pint aren't used anywhere else in my life.
My brain is filled with far too much shite about measurements. I love all of it. I'm a great lover of odd and obscure imperial units. Please don't try to tell me I don't want to know.
"shouldn't have to" ≠ "don't want to*
