MPGs? Those are Imperial gallons, 50MPGs imperial is 41.5 MPG USgal.
The US uses the Wine gallon because beer was not taken across the Atlantic and wine was. The used wine and port barrels were adopted as a unit of measure.
The US ounce is different from the Imperial ounce as well, yep, the wine ounce.
The British did not make wine, they imported that. These different measures probably had an origin in Europe. The British had to adapt to a measure of wine so the Crown could tax the h3ll out of it. I don't know if whiskey production was in Imperial or wine gallon measures.
The metric system does eliminate much of this mess.
