I usually try to run it to a round dollar amount after first shutoff.  The 
receipt prints in milligallons.

As an aside, it is snowblower season here and I had to mix oil and gas for my 
2-cycle snowblower.  In spite of one conversion, I find it easier to measure 
the 
oil in milliliters, multiply by gas/oil ratio, and convert the liters to target 
gallons I will dispense into the gas can.  It would be easier if the pump would 
let me see liters dispensed.  My snowblower was obviously designed by a metric 
person and wants 50:1 mix.  If I had to use ounces and gallons, I would cheat 
and use 48:1.

I do not know about that...but I do know that everyday American like to use 
whole numbers 1, 2, 3 not 3.785 Liter (metric gallon)

"Dear Ron, 

To be facetious -- aren't all fuel pumps in the USA already calibrated in 
litres 
-- expressed in lots of 3.785 412 E-03 litres at a time? The oil companies just 
forgot to write on the pumps something like: "As required by national standards 
in the USA, we use metric gallons" 


Cheers,

Pat Naughtin "


Id put my money on the sun and solar energy. What a source of power! I hope we

few more years left. -- Thomas Edison♽☯♑
