Not only that but a US gallon is not the same thing as a gallon 
elsewhere.

As a child I was always taught that "a pint of pure water weighs a pound 
and a quarter", ie: 20oz, and that a gallon was 8 pints.

Converting that over to metric, one gallon is approx. 4.5 litres. 
However, a US gallon is nearer 3.5 litres. So what went wrong?
