Someone should tell them to check their math.
Those are plastic gallons. Plastic gallons are similar to treetalker gallons and ssl-3 gallons, in that all of these units share the property of being different compared to US gallons.
(The ssl-3 gallon is particularly strange: It isn't even a measure of volume at all.)
Heh never heard of a plastic gallon. I was imagining a plastic gallon jug such as a milk jug.
Yeah, in Indonesia (and other parts of the world), the 5-gallon jug you would stick in e.g. a water cooler is called a "water gallon".
