Understanding the result
Keep extra decimal places while you work, then round once at the end. For everyday use, two to four decimal places is usually enough. Scientific, engineering, and regulated work may require a specified precision or reference standard.
Liters and US gallons are not imperial gallons
This page converts liters to US liquid gallons. One US liquid gallon equals exactly 3.785411784 liters. The imperial gallon used in some UK and Commonwealth contexts is larger, so its factor must not be substituted.
- Check whether a source means US or imperial gallons.
- Use the unrounded result for fuel-use and container-capacity calculations.
- Four liters is about 1.057 US gallons.
