Welllll....... Here in the US we've been selling our wine and whiskey in liters for quite some time now, and that's certainly more important than gasoline or oil.

Now there is another thing.... "liters" instead of (in proper English) "litres" and "center" instead of (in proper English) "centre".
Um, that'd be the proper _French_ spelled approximately as she is pronounced, no? Unless, perhaps, you are saying that your proper h'english pronunciation is LIT-rez? At least "liter" has a chance of sounding a bit like "LEE-turs", which is how most English(like) speakers actually pronounce it. Oh, wait... I forgot. Y'all would be the folks who pronounce something "chumley" and then spell it Chalmonderleigh or some such. :-) Kevin (Ottawa, Canada)
