About this tool
A US gallon is exactly 3.785411784 litres, and a UK (imperial) gallon is exactly 4.54609 litres. So 1 litre is about 0.264 US gallons or 0.220 UK gallons, and 10 litres is 2.64 US gallons or 2.20 UK gallons.
Which one you need depends on where the figure is used: the US uses US gallons for fuel, milk and paint, while the UK uses the imperial gallon (mostly for fuel economy, since fuel is sold in litres). Older Canadian and Australian figures also use imperial gallons.
Mixing them up gives an answer about 20% off, which is why this page makes you choose and shows both in the chart. For fuel-economy figures, use the MPG to L/100 km converter.
