But that's imperial gallons, and we visiting yanks still have to make the
mental conversion to dollars. As Vanderbuilt said about the Corsair, "If
you have to ask, you can't afford it."

Hmm, I've heard of fuel economy commonly expressed as kilometres per
litre, litres per 100km and miles per gallon. But miles per litre is
new to me. FWIW our new car gets about 1.2 million cubits to the
bushel (that's US bushels).
Fuel in litres, distances in miles (roadsigns and odometers), economy
ratings in MPG. Go figure.....
Cheers,
