    haha..i like both...but metric is easier for calculating as its all about adding zeros heh.
    and it would be better if canada and america used both but the rest or the world uses metric now so be good if america got used to it. not jsut saying that cause i'm canadian but its a good system. the only way i like miles is for road sign if you are traveling 60 miles an hour. 1 mile per minute lol

    heh.. but think about how easy metric is

    1000 meters in a km - 1760 yards in a mile
    100 cm in a meter - 3 feet in a yard
    1000 milimeters in a meter -12 inches in a foot
    10 milimeter per centimeter - and then inches broken down in to fractions lol

    and this is just linear measurments...wait until you get into densities and volumes lol

    Picked up my 05 in April of 05. 78000 miles on it as of today. I easily average 20,000 miles per year. My wife's van was bought in 2003 (2004 model) and she just hit 73,000 which is closer to the national average.
