Your maths is terrible.
There is roughly 4.55 litres in a gallon. So that's about 11 gallons.

No it's not you imbecile. There's two kinds of gallons, US and Imperial. OP didn't specify and my calculations are correct as are yours.
Your logic is terrible.

They use US Gallons to quote MPG figures on European cars, so yes there is logic.
It's exactly the same as they use imperial in the US on occasions.
Don't shoot someone down trying to help you cretin.

Considering I was asking on a French car forum, ( in europe last I knew ), how many gallons are in a french car, it kind of defeats the need for logic to work it out..

Refer to previous posts.
You could however have googled it and figured it out yourself. I guess you're just too lazy
