Sadly, I remember when gasoline was just 60 cents a gallon. I've never paid less than 89 cents a gallon, but that seems so unbelievable when it's around $3.50+ a gallon... Admittedly, that less than a dolar a liter, but you're still spending far too much to fill the tank.<br/><br/>As I said, I don't have a problem with the metric system, and it is taught in schools... it's just not really reenforced in the real world. If you asked someone for 35 ounces of water, they'll look at you like you're crazy... "I want the liter diet coke." is understandable. lol<br/><br/>On a side note that no one really wants to know, when I had my kidney transplant, I found out exactly how much my bladder holds and I shocked the nurses..! They thought that I was rigging the output somehow and couldn't figure out how I could produce so much.
