Great thought. EPA should require SI units only. Adding other
units would only confuse people.
Since all units would be SI , comparison would be straight forward.

Dear Ms. Bohren,
I am looking at the labels the EPA is proposing for fuel economy for
vehicles.
I find no mention of metric units for these labels.
It is likely that labels, at this time, are not an effective place to start
using metric units. So, I back up to see if your work can give a background
to the EPA for use of metric units.
What units do you use at NCVECS?
What do you see as the future for no longer using inch-pound units?
Do you know where to look for what metric units are suitable for
your work?
Please tell me about your use of units.
Thanks.
