In inches: Length x Width x Height / 231 = Gallons.

Because it's well hidden and you need a calculator.
And why is it in US gal?

Thanks to whoever put this in the FAQ. :)

There is always google.

Use the following queries:

(120x16x18)*(cubic inches) to litres - http://www.google.ca/search?q=%28120x16x18%29+cubic+inches+to+litres

(120x16x18)*(cubic inches) to gallons -
