  18. Guess I should point out that the figure which sparked this discussion
  19. was "100 miles per UK gallon". A UK gallon is approx 1.2 US gallons
  20. (160 floz instead of 128, and the floz are slightly smaller). So this
  21. number is ~83 mpg in US terms.
  22.  
  23. Now back to your regular, appallingly US-centric debate. Me, I'm outta here.
