I think in the U. S. we require a 6 inch drop. The theory is to keep gas fumes from migrating into the house where open flames may be present. Helps some with carbon monoxide too I think. If gas water heaters and such are in the garage area seems like they need to be 18 inches off the garage floor. Again gasoline fumes.
