You guys crack me up,... haha. I fly, so we measure speed and distances in knots. Our fuel quantities and consumption are in US gal. When I drive it is kms and liters for fuel. Temps outside are in C, but water temps in my tank, and at my dock at our cabin are in F. Tanks vols are in US gals. I buy lumber in inches and feet. Steak price at store is per pound.

Boy, are we screwed up!!...

Solutions are easy. The real difficulty lies in discovering the problem.

I will ban anybody who uses Celsius. I haven't banned in a while so this could get fun. That is all.

I have hear/head that Fahrenheit is more accurate and is preferred by Farmers. Has anybody else heard this?

I don't know about accurate but it's more precise, so allows more exact measurement? Anyways, I keep mine at 78 as well because that's what I learned from all the forums.

I read my tank in F, my house in C, my meat in lbs and my milk in litres. How messed up it that?
I, as you Walter, suffer from the change during grade school of imperial to metric.

So everyone seems to like 78... mins is 76.1. Is there any advantage to upping it a bit more?
