So, I think it is going to have to hit the $10 a gallon mark in the states to notice a real change in driving habits, at least in the Atlanta metro area. Perhaps less drag racing from traffic lights, less Talladega back-straight high speed drafting on the interstate, and less big honking SUVs with soccer moms in the parking lots idling it away sitting in their A/C while little Johnny plays soccer.
But in Canadia, since y'all use some weirdo wacked out measuring units for your fuel and mpg (
), at what $ / L level do you think you canucks may start to really notice driving differences (if you haven't already).
$2/Leeeeeder? $3/Leeeeeeder? Ay?
As an engineer, you must use metric, no?
At least for some stuff? Gets hard to divide 13/16th's when you're using microscopes and other scientific equipment. If you live in Canada near the border, you hear people talk in Fahrenheit for temperatures. Otherwise that one is all Celsius. Other stuff it's a mix.
Ask anyone what their pool temperature is on a hot day, they'll say 80 F. Ask anyone's height, they'll say it in ft. and inches.
I think I'm 179 cm tall according to my license, but I would say 6 feet.
We have more British-isms yes, however I find Americans to be extremely friendly and generous people. Sometimes I think Canadians are more reserved. But these are the things of generalization so it's silly.
