Do you really need to drink 5 metric gallons of water in one go?

Or would a metric gallon be 4 liters?

A "metric ton" is 1000 kilograms, or 2200 pounds, which is a shade more than a short ton at 2,000 pounds.

A US gallon is 4 quarts, which is about equal to 3.8 liters. So if a metric gallon was 4 liters, it'd be just a shade more than a US gallon.

    I was just running with the 100 cubic inches to see what that would be.

    More seriously, like how a metric cup is 250mL (15mL tablespoon) I agree that a metric gallon would be 4L. In fact, in my neck of the woods "a gallon of milk" is in fact 4L.
