minus-squaredisorderly@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up26·3 days agoFriend, I don’t think you understand just how much we hate the metric system. We’d stop driving before we measured fuel in liters.
minus-squareSuccessful_Try543@feddit.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up10·3 days agoThe temporary solution in 1980s Germany, when prices climbed over 1 DM/l, was to charge per 0.5 l. So they might charge per 0.5 gal now.

minus-squareSuccessful_Try543@feddit.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up6·3 days agoOh sorry. Of course. Please forgive my ignorance. I wasn’t aware of that.
