Blame President James “JimmyCarter. He started America on a path to the metric system but then just gave up. He wonders why he was a one-term president. Quote by Sheldon Cooper of The Big Bang Theory. But doesn't 88 kph sound faster the 55 mph? And you get in the triple digits on the interstate.

I had a Buick Regal GSE that had the supercharged 3.8 liter engine and when ever I called/went in for parts from any parts store and they asked what engine size. They were usually confused when I told them one gallon, just one older guy didn't bat an eye and asked if if was a super-gallon with a smile on his face.

In the early days of converting inches of mercury to Hectopascals, I asked Winnipeg tower for the current time on their metric clock. :)

I had an old 24 hour clock that my stepdad got while he was in the Navy. I told the kids it was a metric clock.
