The US liquid gallon = 231 cubic inches or 0.13368 cubic feet
So now cubic feet in bag / 0.13368 = gallons in bag
I believe that delltraveler's statement that "Those 40lb bags of "topsoil", "compost", "manure", etc are
generally around .75 cubic feet when measured by volume" is accurate and useful here.
(0.75 cubic ft/40 lb bag) / (0.13368 cubic feet/gallon) = 5.6 gallons/40 lb bag
