Hey Phil

Our gallon is like your Oz gallon, i.e. an Imperial gallon of 4.55 L.
The only thing American that is not bigger than every one else's, is
their gallon - one US gallon is only 3.785 L. (or 11 US gal = 41.64 L).

Only reason for pointing this out is it caused me some panic as a fresh
PPL in 1976 when I used a fuel burn in L/hour and worked out the range
(Grumman AA5) assuming Imperial gallons.  I launched from your home town
headed for Springbok in the NW Cape - 4 hour cross country with what
emerged later as a 4.2 hour range.
