I thought about this too while I was filling up my tank yesterday, but I think they would just switch to quarts since that is just 1/4 of a gallon
That’s right. Europe uses liters because that’s their biggest liquid measurement. Ours is gallons, so we’ll just split that by 4. You think MAGAs are going to go along with switching to a foreign commie system for our beautiful American gas?
Let me introduce you to quettalitre, 10^30 litre. a.k.a. cubic gigametre
We tried the metric thing in the 1970s - people hated it. Some things stuck like alcohol measurement in ml. Most didn’t .
I was in Middle School/ High School at that time, and remember the attempted transition well. I even remember a science teacher telling us that THIS is going to be the way things are from now on, and we’d just better get used to it.
About 15 years later, I was using a standard American slide rule, and remembered that, and thought “Guess not, Poindexter.”
