I once proposed to use BB codes, like italics and bold:

Code:

[mpg]56[/mpg]

or

Code:

[lp100km]4.2[/lp100km]

would be automatically displayed as both. Same for pounds/kilograms, inches/centimeters, etc.
To make it even more fun, have options in your user panel regarding which units you prefer and only those would be displayed in your browser.

I'm not sure if that would be a programming nightmare? My guess is that it would be harder than just learning to use the metric system, though maybe not as hard as learning the non-meteric system(s)
