Not quite (for the Imperial gallon). It's 1 Imperial Gallon = 4
Imperial Quarts = 4.8 US Quarts

Heh, kinda like the butcher with a finger on the scale. You all over
there, are losing out on 8/10's of a quart, in a gallon, and then
brag about your unit of measure being better? Who-wee! That was
pretty slick marketing by someone. On top of that they charge you
all MORE for a less than full US gallon? <cackles> Ric

You have it the wrong way round, US gallons (and quarts) are smaller
than Imperial.
