I have done 75 miles using about 7 European gallons on flat calm.


Doesn't help any, Donut. Where am I going to find Euro gallons over
here?

You must have missed the bit where I said that US gallons were about 90% of
UK gallons.

Your 12 gallons are about 10.8 of my gallons. Therefore, my opinion is that
12 gallons will be fine as long as you don't try to motor into strong head
winds.

I didn't mean to embarrass you .. honestly ... I wasn't aware that you were
mathematically challenged!!

You're not much better, Donal. 12 US gallons are under 10 Imperial Gallons.

Here's the odd thing: Both US and UK Gallons are defined as 8 pints. Except US
Pints are 16 fluid ounces, while the UK pints are 20 fluid ounces. However, in
the US a fluid ounce is 1.8 cubic inches, but in the UK a fluid ounce is 1.73
cubic inches.

Now, if only someone could explain why my 10 cup coffee maker only makes two
mugs of coffee, I'd be happy.
