Good to know
Engine sizes are the same unit: a 2.0 L engine displaces 0.53 US gallons, or 122 cubic inches.
A 2-liter bottle is 0.528 US gallons, or 67.6 fl oz. Fuel and oils are lighter than water: use the density converter to go from kg/L to pounds per gallon.
For fuel economy rather than volume, use mpg to L/100km or L/100km to mpg; they are reciprocal, so a simple gallons factor will not work.
