What This Calculator Does
The Liters to Gallons Converter translates metric liters into US gallons, which is how Americans measure fuel, paint, and pool chemicals. When a European recipe calls for 2 liters of stock or you see fuel priced per liter abroad, converting to gallons gives you a familiar reference.
How It Works
Divide liters by 3.78541 to get US gallons. Alternatively multiply liters by 0.264172. The result is in US gallons, not imperial gallons.
Example
A 2-liter soda bottle is 0.528 gallons. A 60-liter car fuel tank holds 15.87 gallons. A standard swimming pool at 25,000 liters is 6,604 gallons.
Formula
gallons = liters / 3.785411 US gallon = 3.78541 liters.
