Here you see, that English Imperial is not capable to measure fuel you bought and you have use metric methodology to easily measure hunderds of gallon.

Funny is, that by trying to defend English Imperial System, you just show, that it's outdated and metrics is much better...
What a minute, are you trying to say the Imperial system is incapable of dealing with anything but integers?

Decimals are base 10, that has NOTHING to do with "metric methodology" as you like to call it. It's been around long before metric was ever even thought of.

I'm starting to see why after 9 months you're still so confused.
