There is no such thing as a metric gallon.

Sorry about that. I just did my research and I guess I was talking out of
my ass based on what I'd been told once. Here's the real deal: 3.785
litres = US gallon. 4.5 litres = British Imperial Gallon. The Imperial
Gallon is used in Canada which is why it is sometimes incorrectly reffered
to as a "metric gallon". Here's the link with the info on the differences.
Again, I appoligize for my mistake.
