I'm not the biggest supporter of our system either, but until we start teaching kids how to use measurements, metric and arithmetic, there's no use in preaching to the choir.

Also, you can figure out almost anything with MPG. If i'm going on a 100 mile trip and I get 42 MPG, I do 100/42 and that's how many gallons I'll need. With a 5mpg improvement, (100/42)-(100/47). Easy.

(I'm an art student and that's the most math I've done in over a year. It was still easy)
