not that there is an error in L and gallons of gas, but can you see how confusing it is? it&#039;s accurate but having 2 different conceptualizations just complicates the matter and rather than keeping it simple.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Adahn,

one 1L fits into 1000 cubic centimeters (or cc&#039;s) not 100 (10x10) 
(most parts of the world use the S.I. (metric) system not the so-called &quot;Imperial, commonly used U.S. system&quot; as these vary even in different countries and have fallen into disuse. For healthcare the S.I. system is used and safest imho given that patients may travel and it facilitates the communication and enhances the precision with minimal error. Remember when they tried to land that space thing on Mars (the first one) it had crashed bc someone used 5 miles as a calculation instead of 5 km for it&#039;s landing, basically it boiled down to an error bc of not using the same system between different scientists. good idea to have only one official system of measurement, but it seems to me that errors of this nature almost fall in favor to the common US measurements especially when we compare prices of gasoline where the Liter is the same as the gallon in many countries! aaaah! who knows why we are still using this measurement. tree fellers might be ok with it but it has it&#039;s limitations. so we live with this ha!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[@Shawn  &#062;&#062;Avoirdupois system is the everyday standard weight measuring system used in most parts of the world.&#060;&#060;&#060;
If most parts of the world means Myanmar, Liberia and the US then you&#039;re right.
The rest of the world uses the more logical metric system where a gram is a gram and 1000g of water is one Liter that fits into a cube of 10x10 cm. And this water is turning into ice at zero degrees and boiling at 100 degrees. 
What a strange system says the American...]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Great read here! I knew nothing of the differences between the two measurement systems before I read this, and after extensive research I must say....YES, You are 100% Correct!!!
1 Troy oz= 31.10 grams or 480 grains
1 Avoirdupois oz= 28.35 grams or 437 1/2 grains
making the Troy oz 10% heavier than the Avoirdupois oz when compared side by side with grams and grains.
Also,
12 Troy oz= 1 Troy pound (373.24 grams or 5,760 grains)
Just to be clear, today, the Troy systems of measuring weight is generally used only with precious metals and gemstones, Avoirdupois system is the everyday standard weight measuring system used in most parts of the world.]]></description>
