How to Convert Litres to Gallons
1 litre = 0.220 UK gallons OR 0.264 US gallons. Divide litres by 4.546 (UK) or 3.785 (US). So 50 L = 11 UK gallons or 13.2 US gallons. Specify which gallon you mean - the UK gallon is about 20% larger than the US.
Useful when converting European fuel quantities or bulk liquids to gallon-based pricing for comparison. Petrol at £1.45/L in UK = roughly £6.59/UK gallon (2.5 imperial gallons of petrol per £10) or $5.49/US gallon for direct comparison with US pump prices.

Frequently Asked Questions

1 US gallon = 3.785 L. So $4 per US gallon = $1.06 per L. To compare with UK pump prices in £/L, also convert currency. US fuel is dramatically cheaper per L than UK fuel - largely due to lower fuel tax.

Standard wine bottle: 750 ml = 0.165 UK gallons or 0.198 US gallons. A case of 12 bottles = 9 L = 2 UK gallons (1.98 to be precise) or 2.4 US gallons. Pints rather than gallons are more common for retail wine.
