Indeed, they've got even less excuse for their monetary obtuseness: the gallon was around for a long time before the silly Europeans (actually the Revolutionary French, and you know what wonderful people THEY were) came up with liters, but the Americans simply adopted the existing Spanish dollar (from the Austrian thaler, and from which we get "pieces of eight", quarters being two bits, etc.) from Europe...

Nobody outside the US understands you when it comes to measurements...
6.6 bn people worldwide use liters - compared to 300 million americans using gallons.
You're outnumbered by factor 23.
I'd really like to enter some data in the garage, but I won't convert everything manually. Would be great if it were to possible to choose between liters and gallons as well as miles and km when entering data.
Users watching could then choose which units to diplay, so everybody could enter and view data in his native format.
I have an account on the german fuel-logging site
Spritverbrauch berechnen und Autokosten verwalten - Spritmonitor.de, where you can do that.
Does the garage offer a similar feature? If yes I am too stupid to find it...
