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

America's wonderful education system at work.
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.

Actually, thats not true. I deal with selling liquids internationally. Most of the time its done per Kilo, sometimes in Gallons, rarely in liters... Maybe it matters per industry... From what ive seen, Europe tends to favor Liters...

It is measured in liters, kiloliters that is. No way is a liquid measured in a unit that measures mass.

Well believe it or not, but its true... When selling in barrels/drums, people like to have the per gallon price... It can all be converted to whatever they prefer anyway... again, its just what I see in my industry...
