cos we are being conned, distaces are in miles, speed limits are in miles per hour, fuel, to rip us off is sold in metric liquid measure, the idea I think is so that we dont get to grip with inflated prices. How can a litre of fuel be priced say £135.9 a litre when our lowest coinage is 1p?
the government get one hell of an amount in fuel tax then VAT on top.
As we are in Britain we should imo buy fuel in imperial measure.
