Frequently asked questions
How many gallons is 50 litres?
13.21 US gallons (or 11 imperial gallons). A typical car tank of 50–60 litres is therefore about 13–16 US gallons.
What's the difference between a US and an imperial gallon?
A US gallon is 3.78541 litres; an imperial gallon is 4.54609 litres — about 20% bigger. This is why UK and US MPG figures aren't comparable: 40 mpg imperial is only 33 mpg US for exactly the same car. This converter uses US gallons.
