lifewithoutanet 0 #2 October 10, 2005 http://www.airnav.com/fuel/local.html This allows you to search by airport (i.e. "Perris Valley, CA") and get prices of fuel/gallon from airports/flight services within 50 miles who report in. Unfortunately the results are all in gallons. We're still behind the rest of the world in using the English system instead of the Metric system. -C.

kallend 2,027 #4 October 10, 2005 QuoteYou don't use the 'English' system. US gallons are different to UK gallons. The UK uses litres anyway. It's the Imperial system. And imperial systems are very non-PC these days.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
macey 0 #5 October 10, 2005 You live in Chicago, I am ENGLISH and live in Birmingham ENGLAND. You are telling me what we use?!!! I use UK gallons (bigger than US). I use Yards, Feet inches, Pints, Quarts, Nips. Miles, Furlongs. Chains, Poles. Stones and Pounds. Does that clear it up? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How many petrol stations in Brum have pumps calibrated in Imperial gallons any more? When was the last time you went to Marks&Sparks and bought any product measured in pounds and ounces. How many UK cars still have BSF and Whitworth nuts and bolts? How many florins are in a pound sterling? The BBC reports temperature in what degrees?

macey 0 #7 October 10, 2005 Quote Nope. [/Reply] How many petrol stations in Brum have pumps calibrated in Imperial gallons any more? - I am a farmer, buy my Diesel in bulk (UK Gallons). When was the last time you went to Marks&Sparks and bought any product measured in pounds and ounces. - Only shop at my local market, uses pounds & ounces! How many UK cars still have BSF and Whitworth nuts and bolts? - Mine! How many florins are in a pound sterling? - 10 The BBC reports temperature in what degrees? - My thermometer is in degrees farenheit! Just because I live in Chicago doesn't mean I come from Chicago. This WAS meant to be light hearted! Just to point out that the Imperial system is still live & kicking (just)! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fatmarl 0 #8 October 10, 2005 I'm with Macey on this one. I still convert pounds and pence to pounds, shillings and pennies. Bollocks to the metric system! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndyMan 7 #9 October 10, 2005 The problem with AirNav is that it gives retail prices. Many DZ's buy their fuel wholesale, which can be be quite a bit cheaper. _Am__ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bob.dino 1 #10 October 10, 2005 Fruit and veg are now quoted in both metric and imperial units. The law was changed three to four years ago to make this the case. At least one grocer was prosecuted because he didn't want to label in metric. Speedometers on cars are calibrated in miles per hour, and speed limits are also in imperial units. People say I'm 6'3" rather than I'm 191cm, and a person's weight is similarly quoted in stones & pounds rather than kilograms. Most English people still think in imperial, even if labelling is now in metric. And no, I'm not English, but I did live there from 1999 to 2003.

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites mr2mk1g 10 #14 October 11, 2005 Yes, England is pretty much half metric. Eg: Beer and milk are in pints; petrol is spoken about in gallons but priced in liters; coke just comes in liters. You can find examples of this in most other kinds of measurements. Many people are entirely "measurement bilingual", being comfortable with the use of either unit. Most people are partially "measurement bilingual", in that they are comfortable with some measurements and are able to easily convert at will with others...
