This is not strictly true. If you follow this logic, then a quart is 2

OK apart from the fact that a gallon weighs about 10 pounds and not 8,
therefore 1 quart is equal to approximately 2.5 pounds. Sorry to put
the cat amongst the pigeons
P.S. By the way that's UK gallons, quarts and pounds

Here we call them Imperial Gallons because our neighbors in Canada use
them also. But if I remember correctly, I bought petrol by the liter in
the UK in 2001. Strangely enough, a liter was about half a pound, the
100 pence pound you know.
