Re: Uk Cherokee MPG the same as US? and spring questions..
I doubt it....
I cannot see the americans making anything with the Imperial gallon as a
unit just for one small market. But I could be off there.
When I state mine now, I usually use L/100km or US gal as a reference.
I mean the boys with the Wranglers would crap if I let them know my CJ7
gets a sweet 28+ mpg. LOL!

Actually, it's easy to check - I'll just look at the metric and
imperial values and work it out. By the way, the UK was by far the
biggest market when the Cherokee was launched in Europe.
Later...
Using the following formula:
235.2146 ÷ x l/100 km = y mpg (US liquid gallon), or
282.481 ÷ x l/100 km = y mpg (Imperial gallon
means that my trip computer showing 14.1 l/100km equalling 20mpg means
that the computer is calibrated to imperial gallons :(

Re: Uk Cherokee MPG the same as US? and spring questions..
It all comes down to booze. In olde England, they had different gallons
for measuring different commodities. In 1824 the Brits chucked out all
of their various gallons and defined an Imperial gallon to be 10 lb of
water, which about equals the olde English beer gallon. In 1836, the US
standardized on Queen Anne's English wine gallon (traditionally 8 troy
pounds of wine).
Not sure if it deserves the title 'Real Gallon', but of the many gallons
defined through history, your English wine gallon is the last one
standing. By the way Bill, the gallon originated in France. ;)
