On 7 April 1795, the metric system was formally defined in French law using six units. Three of these are related to volume: the stère (1 m 3) for volume of firewood; the litre (1 dm 3) for volumes of liquid; and the gramme, for mass—defined as the mass of one cubic centimetre of water at the temperature of melting ice.

The U.S. uses the pre-1824 gallon (231 cubic inches, 3,790 cm 3) and Winchester bushel (2,150.42 cubic inches, 35,239.1 cm 3), as opposed to British 1824 definition of 1 imperial gallon (4.5 L; 1.2 US gal) = 10 lb (4.5 kg) of water and the bushel as 8 imperial gallons (36 L; 9.6 US gal).
the US liquid gallon (US gal), defined as 231 cubic inches (exactly 3.785 411 784 L), [1] which is used in the United States and some Latin American and Caribbean countries; and the US dry gallon, defined as 1 ⁄ 8 US bushel (exactly 4.404 883 770 86 L ).

The energy content of ethanol is 76,100 BTU/US gal (5.89 kilowatt-hours per litre), compared to 114,100 BTU/US gal (8.83 kWh/L) for gasoline. (see chart above) A flex-fuel vehicle will experience about 76% of the fuel mileage MPG when using E85 (85% ethanol) products as compared to 100% gasoline.
A wine gallon is a unit of capacity that was used routinely in England as far back as the 14th century, and by statute under Queen Anne since 1707. [1] [2] Britain abandoned the wine gallon in 1826 when it adopted imperial units for measurement: the 1707 wine gallon is the basis of the United States' gallon, as well as other measures.
