Then he is way ahead of 99% of audience...

But of course, if you have ever seen "Jaywalking"... you know that questions like "When was the War of 1812?" are also quite the challenge!

Interestingly enough, the Oxford Dictionary of English defines a "real gallon" as a unit of liquid measure equal to 3.7854117 litres.

And to muddy things a bit...my experience with car rentals in Europe is that they get a lot better gas mileage, so when you are thinking "gee, I'm going to need a few extra punts" you may not need as many as you think.

Long live Google!
