I don't know what you mean by "gallon" - that was 6 US gallons,
consisting
for 4 quarts of 32 ounces each, not 5 quarts of 40 ounces each.

Since when were there five quarts in gallon of any sort? Wouldn't they
be quints?

Yes, but an imperial gallon is four 40oz. quarts, which happens to
equal five
32oz. quints. Well, close enough (within .1%).

But - the Imperial ounce isn't exactly the same as the US ounce...

Nor even is the Imperial fluid ounce equal to the US fluid ounce...

Which is why I wrote the "Well, close enough (within .1%)" part. See, I knew
some assholes would try to pick the simple math apart with such trivia. I'm
not disappointed. ;-)

Well if you want nit-picking the US fluid ounce isn't even equal to the
US fluid ounce for nutrition.
