From the Fishprofiles volume conversion calculator:

1 UK gallons = 1.2001 US gallons

Gallons (UK) A British imperial capacity measure equal to 4 quarts or 4.545 liters.
Gallons (US) United States liquid unit equal to 4 quarts or 3.785 liters. So, since a UK gallon is 1.20 times larger than a US gallon, everything is affected by that same ratio, eg. a UK quart is 1.20 times larger than a US quart and so on. Its kind of confusing, its easier to just use the FP convertion that Edgar recomended. You cant really say a exact diffrence becasue 1uk gallon = 1.2 us gallons then 10uk = 12 us, then 24uk=28us. There not exact but you get the idea.

Why are they different politics and they want to be.
