God knows. Why did our (UK) government foist litres upon us in the first place?
I've just learned from an above posting that a US gallon is different from a UK gallon. There's 8 pints (or 160fl oz) in a UK gallon (unless they've changed that as well, and that wouldn't surprise me).
What makes up a US gallon?
Is liter the correct US spelling of litre?

a liter is 1 3/4 pints so 4 and roughly 5/8

4.54 litres to the Imperial Gallon, the UK gallon.
The US Gallon is smaller.
Multiply the cost per litre by 4.54 to get the price per gallon but do it sitting down, you may well faint.
