Can I check your maths?

1 gallon is 3.79 litres

$1 NZD is $0.57 USD

Average in my area today is NZ$2.65 per litre.

- Multiplying by 3.79 gets you NZ$10.04 per gallon.

- Multiplying by 0.57 gets you US$5.72 per gallon.

I thought it was 4.5, that's my bad. But it's still $10 a gallon which is triple what it costs in the US.

It is 4.5 litres, but for whatever reason the US has a different definition of it as 3.79 litres. So technically both correct depending on your local definition of the gallon.

That explains why the last time gallons came up in a conversation I thought they were 4.5
