Or would a metric gallon be 4 liters?
A “metric ton” is 1000 kilograms, or 2200 pounds, which is a shade more than a short ton at 2,000 pounds.
A US gallon is 4 quarts, which is about equal to 3.8 liters. So if a metric gallon was 4 liters, it’d be just a shade more than a US gallon.

I was just running with the 100 cubic inches to see what that would be.
More seriously, like how a metric cup is 250mL (15mL tablespoon) I agree that a metric gallon would be 4L. In fact, in my neck of the woods “a gallon of milk” is in fact 4L.

The metric gallon is part of America’s implementation of the metric system. There’s also metric feet and metric pounds.

You joke, but we learned “tons” and “metric tons” in elementary school.
I assume it’s the reason “metric” is used as an adjective this way.

Roughly equal to 1000 metric teaspoons.

The metric gallon can be defined as 1/5th of a large tumbler or about the same amount as a standard coffee mug.

Jason Statham would use metric gallons, and call anyone who doesn’t a muppet.
