About converting Milliliters to US Gallons

What is a Milliliter?
A milliliter is one thousandth of a liter, and it is exactly the same size as a cubic centimetre — the "cc" stamped on engines and syringes measures precisely the same thing. That equivalence is quietly useful: a 600 cc motorcycle engine and a 600 mL bottle of water occupy identical volumes, so figures from medicine and mechanics can be compared without any translation at all. The milliliter dominates wherever small quantities must be stated unambiguously: pharmacy, laboratory work, cosmetics and airline carry-on liquid limits are all written in mL rather than in spoons or ounces.
What is an US Gallon?
The US gallon is defined as exactly 231 cubic inches, a figure inherited unchanged from the old English wine gallon. When Britain overhauled its measures in 1824 and adopted a new imperial gallon, the United States simply kept the wine gallon it already had — and that single decision is the root of the entire US-versus-imperial mess that still catches people out today. The US gallon is roughly a fifth smaller than the imperial one, which means American and British fuel-economy figures are not comparable even though both are quoted in miles per gallon.
To put both in perspective: a standard wine pour is about 150 milliliters, while a typical American milk jug holds one US gallon.
