About Gallon (US) (gal)
A US customary unit of liquid volume equal to exactly 3.785411784 litres (231 cubic inches by the 1707 Queen Anne wine-gallon definition), or exactly 128 US fluid ounces. The US gallon is the dominant US retail and industrial liquid-volume unit: gasoline pricing and fuel economy (the US EPA window-sticker MPG figures use US gal), milk and beverage retail containers, residential and commercial water heaters (40 / 50 / 75 / 80 gal sizes), swimming-pool and aquarium capacity ratings, US paint and coatings cans, household oil-heat tank sizing, and US-domestic-shipping bulk-liquid descriptors. **Important**: the US gallon ≠ the UK Imperial gallon (4.54609 L = 1.20095 US gal) — a recurring source of confusion in trans-Atlantic fuel-economy comparisons (40 UK mpg = 33.3 US mpg despite identical real efficiency). One US gal of water at 60 °F weighs 8.345 lb. Convert US gal to L by multiplying by 3.7854; to mL by 3,785.4; to fl oz by 128.
About Fluid Ounce (fl oz)
A US customary unit of liquid volume equal to exactly 1/128 of a US gallon (≈ 29.5735 mL). Fluid ounces are the universal US small-liquid-volume retail unit: beverage containers (a standard US Coke can is 12 fl oz, a Starbucks Grande is 16 fl oz, Trenta 30 fl oz), shampoo / lotion / personal-care bottles, US cocktail and bartending recipes (1.5 fl oz is the standard 'jigger' shot), wine pours (a standard restaurant pour is 5 fl oz; a generous home pour 6 fl oz), and home-cooking liquid measurements. **Important**: the US fluid ounce (29.5735 mL) is NOT the same as the UK Imperial fluid ounce (28.4131 mL) — the ~4% difference is usually inconsequential at consumer level but matters when scaling industrial formulations. The US fluid ounce is also distinct from the avoirdupois ounce (a weight unit ≈ 28.35 g), although for plain water the numerical values happen to coincide closely (1 US fl oz of water ≈ 1.04 oz mass).
