Nah. They'll just do what the rest of the world does, and start charging per litre. Your 12.399/g is now only 3.109/L.

    Friend, I don't think you understand just how much we hate the metric system. We'd stop driving before we measured fuel in liters.

    It’s funny, because the U.S. uses the metric system for a lot of things. (Like soda or street drugs!)
    But.. yeah. For fuel, they’d probably start charging per quart before they tried charging per liter.
