About UK Gallon and Teaspoon
What is the UK Gallon?
The UK imperial gallon equals exactly 4.54609 liters and is approximately 20% larger than the US gallon. Established by the British Weights and Measures Act of 1824 to standardize earlier ale and corn gallons, the imperial gallon was designed so that 10 pounds of pure water at 62°F occupied exactly 1 gallon. Although the United Kingdom has officially adopted the liter for fuel sales since 1995, the imperial gallon persists in everyday speech ('miles per gallon' for car fuel economy) and remains the standard unit in some Caribbean and Pacific Commonwealth countries. The imperial gallon relates to the US gallon (1 imp gal ≈ 1.201 US gal), the imperial quart (4 imp qt = 1 imp gal), the imperial pint (8 imp pt = 1 imp gal — the famous British pint of beer), and the liter (1 imp gal ≈ 4.546 L).
- UK fuel economy in miles per gallon (UK mpg)
- Older British industrial and brewing contexts
- Commonwealth countries that retain imperial measures
UK petrol sold by litre since 1995, but economy is quoted in UK mpg: a diesel car at 60 mpg (UK) uses 4.7 L/100 km.
What is the Teaspoon?
The teaspoon equals exactly 5 milliliters (international culinary standard) or about 4.929 mL (US strict definition based on 1/3 of a tablespoon). The teaspoon is the smallest standard cooking measure, used worldwide for spices, baking soda, vanilla extract, salt, and small ingredient quantities. A flat (level) teaspoon is the recipe convention; rounded or heaping teaspoons are inconsistent and avoided in serious cooking. The teaspoon is also a medical unit: many liquid medications are dosed in teaspoons (5 mL standard). The teaspoon relates to the tablespoon (1 tbsp = 3 tsp), the cup (48 tsp = 1 cup), the milliliter (1 tsp = 5 mL conventional), and the fluid ounce (6 tsp = 1 fl oz). Standardized 5-mL measuring spoons are available globally to avoid the variability of household teaspoons (which range from 2 to 7 mL).
