George, my HHR is bilingual in my DIC controls on the steering wheel ,I can change from Metric to English, when I cross the border I always switch to that countries system.
And you can blame President Jimmy Carter for giving up on standardizing to the Metric system back in 1977.
Now Mike you know we don't have 11.5 mm nuts and bolts, aren't most of your aircraft hardware metric?
Today just a drive to the doctors office, again!

 

Yes Mike. I got well schooled about the metric conspiracy back in my old mechanic days. SnapOn and Mac Tools got a regular weekly tool account payment from me back then.

Got it Oldblue. Thanks for the answer.

 

Me too! I have double sets of wrenchs and sockets , and a set of British Standard spaners for working on Jaguars and Triumphs I have owned over the years!

 

Is British Standard and Whitworth the same thing? I remember trying to work on a friends Triumph Motorcycle in the 60's and ended up having to use a cresent wrench or tools from his tool kit or a hammer and a punch. Some of the tools he called Whitworth and some he called British Standard, I never knew the difference and still don't. All I can tell you for sure is that a 14mm and a us9/16 is the same thing.

 

Travelled 410.5 miles with gas leftover to go probably another 50 miles....

I have no idea where this fuel economy is coming from. Butter Zone for my car is 65mph?

 

 

Ahem, it's in the Owners Manual. Yours will display KPH, but you can only go about 70 MPH in that mode, it really slows you down.

 

Yeah donbrew. I'm familiar with it and how to do the metric/English swap. My question was for oldblue as to why his was in the mph mode.

I've tinkered around with mine before, just to see what all changes.

 

I was over the ditch, near Hamburg NY, on my way back from Erie PA.,
Today I turned 298,000 klms!! But didn't have a safe spot to pull over for a picture!
I see the MPH is over where my KPH is .��

 

Yeah, but you could go 200MPH in yours.
