Gene, Referring to your note appended below, as well as some others:
Following your line of reasoning (that EVERY reference to a non-SI unit be clarified by including an SI equivalent), you yourself should include the SI equivalent of "L/in^3". The SI equivalent would be "L/(0.016 L)" which can be simplified to "1/0.016" which of course reduces to "62.5". I don't think that "explaining" what "L/in^3" is by stating that it is "62.5" will clarify anything at all.
