    why do you consider the cubic inches will be useful to the rest of the world (world who does not use galons)?
    • sgerenser 3mo ago
      Yeah, they should have stopped at hogsheads, which is a well understood quantity worldwide.
      • cozzyd 3mo ago
        Without cubic furlongs I don't have a good intuition for the amount
  • Ekaros 3mo ago
    Wouldn't 256 in proper tablespoons be 3840 ml?

  Unless you're actually measuring something with any importance, a gallon is about 4 liters. More closely 3.78541... But saying a quart and a liter are about equal is often good enough.
  • tedd4u 3mo ago
    As long as you also know a gallon is 4.0… quarts
    • colechristensen 3mo ago
      quart = quarter ... gallon

        Wait till we learn what a fifth is!
        • tedd4u 3mo ago
          That one I know: it's 750ml
          • colechristensen 3mo ago
            And five of them is 1% less than a gallon.

  I get your point but unless you actually need tritium water the number still means nothing lol.

  Just think of the largest container of ranch dressing that you’ve ever seen in a grocery store. It’s that much.
  • bulbar 3mo ago
    To be honest, if you live outside of the US the answer to that is more likely to be a liter (or less) than a gallon.
    • jrflowers 3mo ago
      In that case you can imagine the biggest container of ranch dressing you’ve ever seen in a grocery store, a gallon is a few of those

  1 gallon is 0.832674 gallons. Or 1 gallon is 1.20095 gallons.
