Someone that goes from 15mpg to 14mpg is spending a lot more money with that seemingly small 1mpg change.

Amerika still refuses to join the rest of the world and go metric, you would think that profit motive (corporate greed) would put the yanks in sync with the rest of the world.
I grew up with miles lb.s and ounces, and cannot visualize distance as well in metric and HATE metric !
BRING BACK OUTDATED MEASUREMENT !
