Welcome to the forum PooPoo, but did you realize this is a 5 year old thread topic that has nothing to do with metric that was outdated well over a year ago from it's the last post before yours?
However much you protest - the lack of total metrification is STILL an issue, especially and perhaps ONLY where Americans are concerned.
Do yourself and read the 'welcome to the site' or whatever it is called and read the sticky newbie information about how to use this place as by posting in this long dead outdated topic you just brought to 'recent topic' status and has nothing to with the topic itself.
What I posted has every thing to do the topic - as every one in the world is quoting fuel consumption in Kilometers per Liter, and the Americans - the minority, the mere 5% of the worlds population, and the only country that uses (their own version of) imperial measuremments (from 1688), while they work on METRIC engines, with metric dimensions, and metric threads and metric fasteners, and metric wire sizes, and metric plug gaps, and metric ball and needle roller bearings, and metric pistons and metric displacement volumes - in the year 2013.
I have taken it upon myself to educate those trapped in the delusion that they and their ways, are in fact, the centre of the universe, when they are not.
95 out of every 100 people use only metric - and it's the Americans that use their own version of imperial - it's not even British Imperial - the gallons are skewed to the smaller amount. You would be surprised to find out that the American gallon, is not the same as the Britsh gallon, and many people in the metric world - we the 95% of the worlds population, have little to no idea what a gallon is, and that the American gallon is in fact a different gallon, to the "REAL" British gallon. 4.55 liters to 3.78 liters as I recall.
Not one person outside of the USA uses miles either......
So the propensity, dear American, for getting things thoroughly mixed up can be cited with numerous examples i.e. The Mars Orbiter that missed the planet - because the idiots at Lockheed Martin used imperial in pounds of thrust, while NASA uses exclusively metric - in newtons of force.... and so that went smack into the planet or off into deep space...
Then there is the Gimley Glider, where the person using the wrong charts and the wrong calculations, mixed up liters and kilograms of fuel with pounds and gallons (who's gallons??) of fuel and found themselves between air ports with no fuel....
And you telling me and indeed the whole world, that the subject of quoting fuel consumption in liters per kilometer - which 95% of the people coming to this site use, is in fact irrelevant, when it's only 5% of the people coming to this site use the screwed up Miles per TINY -- US gallon.
Well not only do I not think so, I know so.
Thanks and enjoy this site as it is filled a plethora of great info spanning years so pay attention to dates and as always, the actual topic subject title to enjoy it more ;-}
Your reliance upon dubious assertions to qualify the validity of your remarks, is intangible at best and incredulous at worst.
Show some maturity and ask all posters to use metric measurements in their fuel consumption figures... this way, 95 out off 100 readers will know what they mean. Some of them might even stop screwing imperial threads into metric threaded casings....
The star date is 2013 - not 1688, and while you might light your home using whale oil candles, the rest of the world uses electricity - measured in metric amounts too.
Although your input says little of value or worth, I'd like to take the time to personally thank you for having made the effort.
