Please don't say Imperial, the unit system you are talking about is US Customary. Volume units are different in the two systems.

- gambiting 5y agoI don't see why you are being downvoted, you are absolutely right. For example you have US Gallons and Imperial Gallons, with the Imperial ones being used in UK not US.
- ksec 5y agoThank You. Never knew that. I was always under the impression both Gallons are the same.
- gambiting 5y agoYep, and those two gallons aren't even remotely close. It's the most annoying thing on car forums, because someone will always say "oh my car gets 30mpg but everyone here says they are getting 40mpg!" Like, yes, because you haven't established whether they mean US MPG or Imperial MPG.
- ksec 5y agoYES! I always assume ( and very stupid of me ) that it was some regulation with cars and the way they drive between US and UK making some difference in MPG. I never knew the G in mpg was different! This is one of the illustration with online or even real world discussions where we argue pass each other under the wrong basic assumption.
