How about refueling your jetliner in Canada and getting liters when you thought you got gallons?

Metric makes much more sense than our method of measurement. The problem was parents couldn't or wouldn't help their kids who were learning it. So the soda pop method is the best idea anyone ever came up with. I am pleased to see so many things in metric these day in the grocery store, although it frustrates a lot of older people.
