About Gallon (US) (gal)

A US customary unit of volume equal to exactly 3.785411784 liters, or 128 fluid ounces. US gallons are the default unit for US gasoline pricing and fuel economy (miles per gallon), milk and beverage containers, water heaters, and pool/aquarium capacity. Different from the Imperial gallon used in the UK (4.546 L) — a frequent source of confusion when comparing US vs. UK fuel economy or trans-Atlantic recipes. One US gallon weighs about 8.34 pounds.

About Fluid Ounce (fl oz)

A US customary unit of liquid volume equal to 1/128 of a US gallon (about 29.57 mL). Fluid ounces are the standard unit on US beverage containers, shampoo bottles, cooking recipes, and cocktail recipes — a standard US soda can is 12 fl oz, a large Starbucks drink is 20 fl oz, and most cocktails call for 1.5 fl oz of spirits. Easy to confuse with the Imperial fluid ounce (~28.41 mL) used in the UK, though the difference is small enough that it rarely matters for everyday use.
