erm, with a few oddities (miles rather than km) we are metric over here I have always grown up with the metric system so that is what I am used to, i'd have to say it does seem the most logical though.

Always measured engine size in litres, if you were to say you had a 454 engine most people wouldn't have the faintest clue over here
