Nigel, your mpg numbers are obviously based on British gallons which are kind of an inflated type of imperial gallons (too lazy to look it up right now). I think our mpg values would be 10-20% lower than your numbers. Why can't we all go metric???


And report in kilometers per liter?


"Inflated imperial gallons" - don't you mean deflated American gallons! I expect a pint of beer to be 20 fluid ounces, not 16!
