The US gallon holds 128 fluid ounces, the imperial one 160

A US fluid ounce is one 128th of a US gallon; an imperial fluid ounce is one 160th of a larger gallon. So the two ounces differ by about four per cent and the two gallons by twenty. A UK recipe asking for 10 fl oz means 284 ml and a US one means 296 ml, and neither converts by moving a decimal point.

NIST Handbook 44, Appendix C — general tables of units of measurement

What is a US fluid ounce?

Exactly one 128th of a US gallon, which makes it 29.5735295625 ml exactly. The imperial fluid ounce is a different unit at exactly 28.4130625 ml, so a UK recipe calling for 10 fl oz means 284 ml and a US one means 296 ml. It is also a volume, not a weight: an ounce of flour is not a fluid ounce of flour.

What is a US gallon?

Exactly 231 cubic inches. The imperial gallon is 4.546 liters, so US and UK fuel economy figures are not comparable.

How many US gallons are in a US fluid ounce?

One US fluid ounce is 0.0078125 US gallons, exactly. Going the other way, one US gallon is 128 US fluid ounces. Both figures come from the same defined relation rather than from a measurement, which is why they are the same today as they were in 1959.
