The five gallon containers for plants always seemed small to me. Today
I got
to measure one of them. When I calculated the volume, it was 3.4
gallons not
five. Am I missing something? Is there a arcane standard for this?

This seems a large discrepancy even for a container not selling product
by volume. Which gallon (USA or Imperial) does the container use? How
did you do the sums to work out your figure?
