Dale it's annoying when your
confronted with take-off and landing charts and fuel calculations when you have
different aircraft with different calculations some in Liters some Imperial
gallons and some in US gallons.
I would assume most of you chaps
only see the one system.

of the gallon annoying from the Aviation point of view - then one starts to
wonder WHY?

Why it is
annoying - or why the different measures?
In the latter case, it's
clearly a manifestation of N.I.H.
