You learn something new everyday lol
I never knew how gallons were different sizes from the US...interesting.
Theres another measuring system we have different to the US too..
An American 'Billion' is 1000 million - whereas a British Billion is 1000,000 million! lol (I would try to make some further examples but i'm really not very good at maths!)
I think though that the british billion is the same for all of europe - but the american one is different. Its basically far easier to become a billionare in the US though, thats for sure! lol
Wish it wasn't so confusing and all the measurements were the same :-o
Kind regards
Nick
