US gallon vs. Imperial gallon
One gallon is not equivalent to all other gallons. US and Imperial gallons (an earlier name for UK gallons) differ in the amount they measure. A US gallon is exactly 231 cubic inches (approximately equal to 3.785 liters), whereas an Imperial gallon is approximately equal to 4.546 liters. Due to differences in gallon sizes, the price per gallon also varies.
The US gallon is based on an older English wine gallon. Before the standardization of measurements in Britain in 1824, differently sized gallons were used for different liquids. The United States standardized on the wine gallon, whereas Britain defined the Imperial gallon as the volume of 10 pounds of distilled water under certain conditions. This means an Imperial gallon is 20% larger than a US gallon.
At $2 per liter, the price of a product would be $7.57 per US gallon, and $9.09 per Imperial gallon.
Make sure to check whether the gallon mentioned is a US or an Imperial gallon when looking at prices internationally.
