Best Answer
A British (imperial) gallon contains four imperial quarts of 40 ounce each for a total of 160 ounces, and a US gallon contains four US quarts of 32 ounces each, for a total of 128 ounces.
one gallon US equals 3.7854 liter, or 0.0037854 cubic meter, or 0.13368 cubic feet,
one British (imperial) gallon equals 1.2009 gallons US, or 277.42 cubic inch, or 4.5460 liter, or 0.004546 cubic meter
The difference between the Imperial gallon and the smaller US Gallon might be explained by the fact that, in the post medieval past, the whiskey filled barrels leaving the shores of UK didn't have the same content when arriving in the new world....
