Well, I can too. FPLA and UPLR specifically refer to the US gallon (231 in³)
and its subdivisions. Marking in Imperial gallons would not be permitted. I
assume the reverse is true in the UK.
At best, outside the United States, it would be permitted only where "gallon"
is a random collection of letters that has no meaning. But apparently FMI
wishes to fight to the death for the right to assert some meaningless letters.
Our balance of trade suggests they are "winning"; its pretty near dead.
Labels are pretty cheap to make in multiple versions. I'm really after the
package sizes used for US exports.
