What size is the gas tank? Think the petrol station screwed me!

Sue, them over there use the imperial measurement. 4.5 litres per gallon, not 3.86 like us in the colonies.

by the way, that was me that called you last week if you were wondering

Man, I've been out of school too long or something, what the hell is an imperial gallon? I missed that somewhere!

The British use an imperial gallon, 80 oz instead of 64 like here. i.e; 4.5 litres instead of 3.86 litres.

That's why we celerbrate the 4th of July to get away from their silliness and silly spelling.

But then a pint of bitter there is 20 oz, not 16 oz like here and their bitter is much better then our micro brews so I guess it is a wash.

But as Kirk says, we all have a 85 litre tank and a litre is a liter no matter where your at....

English - Litre

American English - Liter

we just have to be different

8 ounces make a cup, 2 cups make a pint (16 ounces), 2 pints make a quart(32 ounces), 4 quart makes a gallon, a gallon(in the U.S.) is 128 ounces not 64 ounces. 1 gallon is 3.78542 liters.

oh yea, was into my 4th pint by then. duh

Guess I was just being silly with Sue

imperial gallon is 4.54609 liters, that was the point of the exercise I think and it is 153.721 ounce US

You got it almost right

it is:

10 ounces make a cup, 2 cups make a pint (20 ounces), 2 pints make a quart(40 ounces), 4 quart makes a gallon, a gallon(in the U.K.) is 160 ounces. There must be some historical reason for the change.

Maybe that is why we yanks are celerbrating the 4th of July today Mate!

Went to a great club one night down some skinnel in Manchester, and had Pimms No.1. Wonderful. Went with Mike Forster, Royal Photographer for the Daily Mail back in the 80's. He was dating a lovely lady named Sue who worked for the city of Liverpool. Met Mike at Le Mans in 82,... great memories
