Miles = what the US uses to measure distance.. unlike the rest of the world who uses Kilometers.

Liter.. I was doing just a little less than you did, back when I was doing the Mississauga-Oshawa commute.

I think it's time for a conversion feature in the forums homepage. I'm sick of opening another browser to check www.onlineconversion.com every time I need to regress back to the bad-old-days of Imperial measurement.

Either that, or I could try convincing George Dubbya to acknowledge that we're in the new millenium and that metric is actually pretty handy!

I have a conversion program on my computer that compares speed, distance, a bunch of measurements, force, light, mass, power, pressure, etc. I could go on an on but you get the point.

Why get a program when you can just do it online.

It is difficult to switch. Canada took from 1970 to 1980 to switch, and most of our old folks still don't understand these newfangled "kilograms" and "centimetres" (as in my Dad: "What the hell is a centimeter of snow? How many inches is that, dammit?"). We still measure ourselves in pounds, and "miles/gallon" still makes more sense to many than "litres per hundred kilometres".

I just hate having to buy two &*$#ing tool kits for everything, to cover outdated SAE bolt sizes on my friends' cars.
