Australia: It is interesting to note that gas uses different units to electricity. USA: Does anybody have metric units for gas, either on the meter or on the bill? -- Terry Simpson Human Factors Consultant [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.connected-systems.com Phone: +44 7850 511794 > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf > Of Han Maenen > Sent: 21 August 2003 06:22 > To: U.S. Metric Association > Subject: [USMA:26686] Re: Slightly less off topic: Electricity consumption > > In the Netherlands electricity is measured in kW.h, but gas is not > measured > by MJ but in cubic meters,. as is water. > > Han > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Pat Naughtin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "U.S. Metric Association" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Thursday, 2003-08-21 3:01 > Subject: [USMA:26685] Re: Slightly less off topic: Electricity consumption > > > > Dear Terry and All, > > > > My gas bill is in megajoules (MJ) and my electricity bill is in > > kilowatt-hours (kWh) and I think that this is the common practice all > over > > Australia. > > > > Cheers, > > > > Pat Naughtin LCAMS > > Geelong, Australia > > > > Pat Naughtin is the editor of the free online newsletter, 'Metrication > > matters'.
