Well since a liter is already a volumetric measurement, it means the reporter is probably an American used to using “cubic feet”.

Sort of like saying a cubic gallon was pumped.

Yeah, it would have made sense to express it in terms of either liters or cubic meters. A liter is a liter and a gallon is a gallon. It just seemed like an odd conflation of terms.

Thats what I thought. A gallon is a gallon regardless of the shale of the container.
