US galon is smaller than British, because crews of ships bringing
whisky to United States stealed a small amount of whisky from
each barell (for "their own purposes", I guess :-)). But, because
they were responsible for number of galons, they had to decrease
galon to keep accounting in order. This is an official version.
Enjoy...
Excuse my English.
