I have been researching US non-metric definitions.

Handbook 130 says a US gallon is 231 cubic inches.
http://ts.nist.gov/ts/htdocs/230/235/h130-03/07_IV_PackLabReg.pdf

Federal standard 376 says it is 3.785412 liters
http://ts.nist.gov/ts/htdocs/200/202/fs376-b.pdf

There is a small difference between the two values. Is the US gallon
precisely defined in terms of cubic inches or liters?
