I have to say that whenever I fill up with petrol I fill it to the top.
Or I fill with a monetary amount. I've never watched the litre amount go up
and up. Just the £ amount. In the US do people watch the gal figure roll up
or do you concentrate on how much the transaction is costing?
The only use of metric happens when you notice the big signs saying how much it
is per litre.
A bit like the mpg figure it's really just a familiar reference figure.
Eg: The petrol station on the roundabout sells petrol at over £1 per litre ....
"How much?!?"
My friend reckons he gets 70 mpg out of his car .... "How much?!!?"
etc etc
