Bq Soon (Corrected)



I screwed up.  Comes from old age and not remembering correctly.

The Europeans measure liters/100 kilometers which is the reciprocal of the

way we do it.

And they look for a low number.





One measure that hasn't been mentioned is that of automobile gas mileage

(kilometerage?).  In the US, we measure miles per gallon and look for a

high

number.  In metric countries, they measure kilometers/100 liters and look

for a low number.  This would cause mass confusion among the public, not to

mention the regulators (EPA).
