Approximately 5000 gallons.
Each litre is approximately a quart.
Metri-sexual Europeans / Quebec’ers Socialists are burdened by Very high cost of living taxation.
The dears need to use down-sized measurement system in order to fool themselves that things are affordable.
Gas is sold by the litre (quart) and in Canada is currently priced at: $1.05/l ie: $4.00!
Cheese, meat, some produce is sold by the gram, ie: there’s 28 grams to the ounce.
EVERYTHING is So Damn expensive there due to disgusting taxation at every level of production.
But, they do have free health care! /s

RE; “How much is 20k litres in American..like 10 gallons?”

"...need to use down-sized measurement system in order to fool themselves that things are affordable."

The metric system was actually foisted upon us by Trudeau the Elder. It is sooo European and has the added bonus of making comparisons with the past more difficult (see Orwell, 1984)

"Gas is sold by the litre (quart) and in Canada is currently priced at: $1.05/l ie: $4.00!"

Actually .91 a litre Canadian today. Works out to US$2.81. The difference is taxes.

"Cheese, meat, some produce is sold by the gram, ie: there’s 28 grams to the ounce."

You can buy it by the pound or the kilo.

"EVERYTHING is So Damn expensive there due to disgusting taxation at every level of production."

Taxes are higher in Canada (not corporate taxes) but as for things being "so damn expensive". I don't think so. I'm going to Kroger today so I'll let you know.

There are some things that are A LOT cheaper in Canada. You can get a four year University education here for about $25,000 in tuition, total. That's $6,000 A YEAR, but most Americans don't want to hear about that. Strangely, both of my kids graduated and are working in Michigan. Seems to be a shortage of engineers and nurses in the US.
