Gallons conversion examples
In the United States fluid volume is measured almost exlusively in gallons or ounces. Everywhere else it's liters (spelled litre in the Commonweath) and milliliters. But in Canada we have it both way because we're close to the USA and do a lot of trading. Canadians officially use litres but just about everything is also marked in ounces and gallons.
This is much to the dismay of Canadian children who, sooner or later, need to learn both units of measurement just so they can bake some cookies becuase the cookbook may call out ingredients in ounces (most likely) or milliliters (less likely but not unheard of).
Juice bottles
Juice bottles made in the USA and imported to Canada get a label that shows the volume in Liters. This results in odd figures such as the common 1.54L bottle of juice which is 52oz or 0.4gallons.
Water bottles and juice boxes
Water bottles sold in Canada show volume in millilitres (mL) or even centiliters (cL)
Jerry can (gasoline containers)
A jerry can will have a line to indicate volume in both gallons and liters.
Stickers on appliances
On appliance stickers it's common to display both gallons and liters.
Fuel consumption
Fuel consumption can be measured in miles per gallon (mpg) or liters per 100km. Vehicles with higher mpg or lower L/100km have better fuel consumption.
