There's an idiot up in The Great White North that's got about a gazzillion passes on a set of used aluminum drums...zero issues.

When I went to school metric was already being taught and we learned Imperial but I don't remember gas being sold by the gallon only liter.

The price of a litre of gas when we swapped from gallons was...25 cents. Currently a 1.02 a litre here in town. Got it for 95 cents at the track last week on the reserve.

Our has just dropped below $2/gallon for the cheap stuff. I've been paying $2.5-85 per gallon for the 93 octane stuff.
I pulled , cleaned and regapped the plugs last week. I'm hoping for better than the 18 or so mpg I've been getting.

Is an imperial gallon four quarts just like an American Gallon?

No wonder it cost so much. That sounds like a lot. A liter is more than a quart or less? I guess if it is less then the imperial gallon might be pretty close to the us gallon. I'll have to get on the google and see

An Imperial Gallon is 20% more than its US counterpart.
4.56Litres = 1 Imperial gallon / 3.785 litres = 1 US gallon
