448. That's not even hard. There's 128 fluid ounces per gallon. 3×128=384, add 64 to that for 448.

You could work through that from the smaller units if you didn't know off hand. Still, it's pretty unusual to want fluid ounces at that scale. Keep it at 3.5 gallons.

I think you just unironically showed why SI is the superior system.

"Quick Jimmy, how many 5 ounce containers can we fill if we have 102 gallons of syrup. No using a reference Jimmy, and you gotta do it quick in your head, these are new 5 ounce containers that we have never filled before and we can't put too many in the machine."

How many people say gigabytes these days when they mean gibibytes?

Also, how do you feel about degrees, minutes, and seconds?
