Just call me chagrined...  It sounds like a good point to me.  Maybe we 
should convert to MPL -- Miles Per Litre!

I prefer the metric system as it's FAR easier to work with and I'm glad my 
car is metric.  I just wish the US would get off it's lazy butt and switch 
over to metric.  Ask me the order of biggest to smallest for socket sizes 
7/16", 9/32" or 3/4" and you'll have to wait for me to convert to a common 
denominator but ask me the same question for socket sizes 11mm, 7mm or 19mm 
and I could tell you in less than a heartbeat (as could any eight year-old 
for that fact).

Hey volks,

Don't forget we are talking imperila gallons here (I presume) not
yankee gallons
