What about measurements for cars? Like fuel economy? Do you guys use the ~ 3.8l or the #4.5l for a gallon?!

The larger unit is the "Imperial Gallon" and is generally abbreviated "Imp. Gal.". We use gallons in all our measurements in the US.

Aight.

So I take it UK cars magazines and specs run on the Imperial Gallon then? I can't say I have ever read Imp. Gal. anywhere in a car magazine review in England.
