A) In terms of electrolysis, it’s been said from multiple sources online that “Using water's density and relative atomic populations, it is estimated by a mass balance that approximately 2.38 gallons of water are consumed as a feedstock to produce 1 kg of hydrogen gas (14.13 liters), assuming no losses.”

B) However, 1 Gallon of water is said to contain approximately 4,707 liters of hydrogen.

How can both statements be correct under normal atmospheric conditions, since even with 80% efficiency of current PEM electrolyzers the first statement (A) is nowhere near the +4,000 liters of the second approximation (B)?
