How it works
Liters-to-gallons is the fuel and aquarium conversion: gas abroad is priced per liter, US pumps use gallons, and tank sizes come in both. One US gallon is 3.78541 liters — so divide liters by roughly 3.8. (The UK imperial gallon is different: 4.546 L — this page uses US gallons.)
Fuel math: a 50 L European tank is 13.2 US gal. To convert fuel prices, multiply the per-liter price by 3.785 — €1.80/L is the equivalent of about $7.40/gal at parity, which is why European fuel feels expensive to American drivers.
1 l = 0.264172 gal — multiply your liters value by 0.264172. For example, 4 Liters (l) = 1.0567 Gallons (US). The factor is exact by definition, so results are as precise as your input.
