And are we suppose to say petrol and windscreen too <g>?

Litres/km and KPH is good.. may this is a small step to move the US into metric like the rest of the world -NOT <g>

btw, the US has always been on metric system.  Having worked at the National Bureau of Standards, I can tell you that there never was a "standard foot" or a "standard pound"  It's always been a "standard meter" and a "standard kilogram" .  Foot and pound are some arithmetical function of meter and kilogram by definition.  It's been that way ever since there was a national standards.
