Metric conversion by computer
 

Google knows all about conversion factors. Just type the problem in the box and hit "Search."
<b>
$655 in gbp
87km in mi
129l in gal
1.182 eur/l in $/gal</b>

Try it!

Google also knows about books about France/ Italy etc. More information on the Google Help can be found on

I find the google maps very useful as well.

And put &quot;Imperial&quot; before the gallon if you want l converted to &quot;real&quot; gallons.

I guess my slide rule is going on the junk pile. Oh well...

Thanks very much for posting this, Robes.

<b>55mph in furlongs/fortnight = 147,840</b>

Wow, you mean Google can do simple math? Neat-o ;)

I searched for a while to try and get what liters per km was = to for miles per gallon. I picked up an answer in a UK school test website that said you multiply the liter per km by 2.39 to get mpg.

My brain hasn't built the algebraic conversion yet, so I'm accepting this.

Or you could have typed this into Google:
<b>1l/km in mpg</b>
- or -
<b>1l/km in m/imperial g</b>

Oops. s/b
<b>1 l/km in mi/imperial gal</b>
