        In New Zealand we generally use petrol, or diesel, measured in
        litres -
        

        though there are some cars powered by natural gas.  I think the
        USA is
        

        one of the few places not using the metric system.
        

      Actually we do, we just pretend we don't:)

    Actually, I learnt the metric system mostly from an
      American textbook on
        Physics at high school in year 12 (then called 6th
    form for us).

    
    In New Zealand, we spend a lot more time putting down Australians
    than Americans - but if anyone was to try and invade Australia, then
    the half of New Zealanders not already living in Australia would
    rush to defend it.
