How it works

Everything is converted through the litre. US and UK units differ: a US gallon is exactly 3.785411784 L while a UK (imperial) gallon is 4.54609 L; a US pint is 473 mL and a UK pint 568 mL.

Cooking cups and spoons here are US customary measures (cup = 236.6 mL, tablespoon = 14.8 mL, teaspoon = 4.93 mL).

Examples

Recipe
2 US cups = 473.2 mL.
Fuel
50 L = 13.21 US gal = 11.00 UK gal.
