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.
