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 Milliliter (mL)

A metric unit of volume equal to exactly one thousandth of a litre (0.001 L) and exactly one cubic centimeter (1 mL ≡ 1 cm³ per BIPM). The mL is the universal small-volume unit in clinical medicine and pharmacy (USP / EP / JP / BP / IP pharmacopoeial dosing per ISO 13485 medical-device standards), laboratory chemistry (titration burettes, analytical glassware per ASTM E542), small-batch cooking outside the US, perfume and personal-care products (EU Cosmetic Regulation requires labelling in mL), and beverage packaging (a 500 mL water bottle, 750 mL wine, 700 mL standard spirits bottle in most of the world / 750 mL in US). Reference values: a typical Luer-lock medical syringe 1-60 mL, US shot glass ~44 mL (1.5 fl oz), standard saline IV bag 250-1,000 mL, espresso shot ~30 mL, retail vape juice 30/60/120 mL. In medical and laboratory contexts, mL and cc (cubic centimeters) are used interchangeably — both equal one cm³.
