So why not just save yourself some of that heavy work and just post in your local currency and units of measure... I think most of us here are capable of doing our own conversions as required.

Fair comments all. As the OP, I was just pointing out the problem of a global medium like the internet and all the local measurements, standards, laws, specifications etc.
I do question why the American gallon is unique. All other "gallons" are based on the 160oz Imperial measure. I like a pint to be 20oz (fewer beers to order that way).
Metric Advantages, A system where water freezes at 0, boils at 100. A liter (1000ml), weighs a Kilo (1000gr)
and on and on it goes, Metric is easy, logical and practical, it's the converting that's a pain in the ass.
How many feet, (or yards) in a mile anyway who can remember?
In imperial (or American) measure working between units of mass, distance, volume etc. with all of the different units, inches, pounds, ounces is really illogical and cumbersome, isn't it?
What's the highest gas prices in your area (converted to $US, please).
Using the following site for $ conversions;
Daily driver is a MY99 OBW Auto. I drive 110 Km per day. I get about 8.3L/100km economy from it.
My 318Ci V8 Valiant Charger is still pretty good on the petrol
You can't have go without flow!
Gas in Nova Scotia, Canada is $1.119 per litre. I am getting 7.8 litres/100 combined on my 05 OBW and a best tank (of 64 litres) of 7.5.
I will not convert to US gallons (or any other gallon), do it yourself!

I will say that I would prefer mm/cm to inches i hate the whole 5/8in crap. on the other hand, how tall are you, 5?10" or 1.78meters we just need a simple standard for everything, language, numbers, text, etc. this world is no longer hundreds of different stand alone places. very few things upset me as much as having to call someone who speaks (insert language here) to translate simple instructions. If I even took a vacaton to germany, china, mexico, canada, etc I would be expected to know enough of the language to get by, why can people live in the US and expect me to know what language they speak.
Ouch! That's like US$ 5.25 /gallon!
What's Europe paying?

$1.40 CAD/litre is not $5.25 USD/gal, it's more like $4.50 USD/gal.
