About Gallon (US)

The US liquid gallon is defined as 231 cubic inches (about 3.78541 liters). US recipes, fuel economy, and retail liquids typically use US gallons.

About Cubic Inches

The cubic inch is the volume of a cube one inch on a side. Engine displacement in the US and small volumes in machining use cubic inches.

How to convert gallons (us) to cubic inches

1 gallon (us) is equal to 230.99999975590504 cubic inches:

1 gal = (3.78541178 L ÷ 0.016387064 L) in3 = 230.99999975590504 in3

Each gallon (us) is defined as 3.78541178 L and each cubic inches as 0.016387064 L, so one gal equals 3.78541178 ÷ 0.016387064 in3 = 230.99999975590504 in3.

Let V(gal) be the numeric value of the same volume measured in Gallon (US) (gal), and V(in3) the value in Cubic Inches (in3). Then:

V(in3) = V(gal) × (3.78541178 / 0.016387064)

Equivalently, divide by how many gal fit into one in3 (liters per in3 divided by liters per gal):

V(in3) = V(gal) ÷ 0.00432900433358

Or: cubic inches = gallon (us) ÷ 0.00432900433358

Examples

Example #1: Convert 20 gal to cubic inches

20 gal = 20 gal × (3.78541178/0.016387064) in3 = 4619.99999512 in3

20 gal = 20 gal ÷ 0.00432900433358 = 4619.99999512 in3

Example #2: Convert 50 gal to cubic inches

50 gal = 50 gal × (3.78541178/0.016387064) in3 = 11549.9999878 in3

50 gal = 50 gal ÷ 0.00432900433358 = 11549.9999878 in3

Summary

To convert Gallon (US) to Cubic Inches, multiply the value in gal by the ratio of liters per gal divided by liters per in3. Equivalently: value_in3 = value_gal × (3.78541178 / 0.016387064). Numerically, 1 gal equals 230.99999975590504 in3.
