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.

Pints and quarts are still the default retail units in American grocery stores for milk, heavy cream, and yogurt.
