Hi again, Hopefully Eric will find it in his heart to let this thread continue.
Yes, we are. Booze and wine are now sold by the liter. Curiously beer is generally not. In my opinion gas stations should be the next in line to convert. I am sure modern pumps could easily be reprogrammed to display liters instead of gallons. To the uneducated the price per liter would look like a bargain. Wow, less than a dollar! I don't think super markets would encounter a huge cost converting from lbs to kilos either. Probably the road signage would be the biggest cost problem.
