Why are you laughing? He wasn't kidding, even if he was partially wrong - imperial gallon is smaller. 1 imperial gallon = 1.2 US gallons.

Thus, US MPGs and European MPGs vary due to metric differences.

America's wonderful education system at work.

An Imperial gallon is larger than an American gallon ... your ratio above is correct 1 imp gallon = 1.2 US gallons ... put that ratio backwards, 1 US gallon = .832 imp gallon ... america's education system indeed j/k

American inferiority complex and the need to feel superior by belittling another person clearly at work.
I honestly never heard of an imperial gallon. How the British measure there gas is of little importance to me. Every country I've been to uses metric litres and kilometers, not gallons or miles. Almost none of the world uses the gallon system. Anyway, its a waste of time, dealing with people like you.

Woops, right. 1 imperial gallon contains more than an American gallon. So he was actually totally right.
