What is odd about that, Martin, is the US label uses the US spelling, liter. They made a special but wrong label for the UK.

It complies with UK law. However the product label in the website: http://www.costco.co.uk/view/product/uk_catalog/cos_6,cos_6.3,cos_6.3.1/131511 does not - it is illegal to display US gallons, quarts and pints on any goods that are sold in the UK – if gallons, quarts ort pints are used as a supplementary unit, they MUST be imperial units. It is of course possible that the Costco site detects where you are living and chooses its text accordingly. I live in the UK.
