Since you appear to be in America this means one gallon is 3.7853 liters. For some obscure reason when you're in England a gallon apparently is an amazing 4.5459 liters.

That's because there are two units called "gallon", one being the Imperial gallon and the other being the... other kind. Why not use two different names? Beats me.
