The American Experience

Friday, July 4th, 2008

I was thinking about the American point of view yesterday and something really struck me: gas milage.

We, of course, quote milage in miles per gallon. The Europeans quote how much fuel it takes to go 100 km.

It’s an interesting difference. The rest of the world says “We know where we’re going, how much do we need to get there?” The US says “How far can I get?”

Viva la capitalism!
