Re: [ST] July Rider



Hey Steve !
I think you're wrong about being wrong  :-p

1 Gal. Imp. = 1.2 Gal US   fraction = 6/5 Gal. US
1 Gal. US = 0.84 Gal Imp  fraction = 5/6 Gal. Imp.
120 MPG Imp. = 100 MPG US       (120/6 X 5)
120 MPG US =  144 MPG Imp.      (120/5 X 6)

Even more Latin
non illegitimae carborundum est.

Errr Steve, are you sure you haven't got that backwards?

Since the UK gallon is larger, your vehicle will go further than with a
US gallon.  In other words, mpg numbers are always higher when using UK
gallons (compared to US gallons).

It was a nice idea though, certainly worth considering.

DOH! Right you are. More Latin: Mea culpa.
