Tom's message reflects my frustration last March when driving a 2003 Fiat
around Eire.  The speed limits were posted in mph and I could deal with those,
but (very nearly) all the distance signs were in km while the gauges in the car
were all miles.  What was *really* annoying was the car had LCD instruments but
there was no way of switching the computer to display km.
