"The average cow burps 400 liters [what's the conversion to US?] of gas every day."

- is liters the proper unit to use for a gas measurment?

That would be about 106 U.S. gallons.  Which is alot of burping.

Though both the liter and the gallon are generally used to measure the volume of liquids. I think the cubic meter is the most common when measuring the volume of gas.

400 liters is about 0.4 cubic meters
