		+	You know? I don't care in the slightest which system is used, I can convert between them pretty easily. If a recipe uses one system for some ingredients and the other for the rest, it's odd but doesn't bother me. This? This hurt to read!

 ::Yes, mpg is not a hard concept, but to me as a German, there are two uncommon units involved there and a reciprocal. An economic car uses 3l/100km here. Try to figure out what that is in mpg. It is 0.8 gallons per 62 miles... so maybe 78 mpg?
