I thought it was a good question...

So...in the US, we measure the cars usage as 'mileage'. Do other countries call this 'kilometerage'?

Sorry,may be the effects of drinking.

Feel free to post others...like if that chick, Hillary, becomes President, does Bill become the First Man?

Seems like someone back in 2005 must have asked the same question.

My OTage has been climbing lately. Not sure that's a good thing.

Bill can't be the First Man. Adam beat him to it.

Yeah....I'm not looking it up. What about the first man question?

As for google...I'd say it's a star trek thing. Like "Google log 75345.3486 - how much does a hen weigh"

BTW...with people able to look up shit on their phones, are there ever any good bar fights anymore? I mean...one guy says something stupid, another guys looks it up on his phone and says 'no...it's really this', first guys says...'oh yeah...sorry'.

I think cell phones are killing good bar fights everywhere.

Never heard anyone use the term kilometerage here in Canada, everyone says mileage in spite of the fact everything up here is in km.

They say fuel economy or some variation thereof and l/100km instead of mpg.

I know this will sound completely wild, but most countries that use KM's are not English speaking lol... Canada and a few others being notable exceptions.

We refer to the mileage in Canada even thought it's measured in Kilometres. The mileage on my Z4M is 55000 km, or for you folks in the US of A 34000 miles.
