Twas used in days gone by to measure grain and other dry commodities. As is the use for dry pints and dry quarts.
Actually I still use dry pints. It's the feeling I get after 30 seconds upon entering a busy pub, or should that be a dry 568.26125 millilitres :)

U.S. Liquid Gallon. What the hell is a 'dry' gallon?

Hi Robert,
But are you talking of the U.S. liquid gallon ( 3.785411784 litres ), U.S. dry gallon ( 4.40488377086 litres ) or the Imperial UK gallon (
4.54609 litres ) ? Currently the price of gas in sunny Belg is around
1.54 Euro's per litre think that'll equate to around 6,000,000 US$ in the current economic climate, although I've not checked the echange rates this morning so it could be more :)
Happy 4th July to those that celebrate it.
Nige...

You lot don't appreciate how cheep your petrol is.
Here in UK (London) we are currently paying the equivalent of $8.55 for a Gallon (US) of Regular Unleaded. Diesel is even more expensive.

There is a Shell station by our office which has outrageous prices (I think the owner is doing it on purpose to **ss off Shell) and I have been taking phone-pics to chronicle the prices.
My last pic of June 11, 2008 (prices rounded up):
$5.22, $5.33, $5.45
