[ROVERNET - UK] Testing again

[Gavin.Walker at csiro.au]

Now that you mention it.  I recall that there was some confusion over
distance measures.

If you select metre in the right hand column and then various measures
in the left hand column, you will notice, for instance, that an
international mile is 1609.344m and a US survey mile is 1609.347218694m.
It's not a lot but can make it interesting if the map writers use survey
miles instead of international ones.

Now the Chinese inch is 37.1475mm compared to 25.4mm and the Chinese
mile is 557.21m which will make things very interesting when China is
more active on the internet.

I am still amazed the Yanks didn't have weird miles too...

Australian VDPs were 3.08:1.  Only the UK VDP EFI and the Vitesse had
different ratios (for V8s anyway).

24-26mpg UK is 20-22mpg US according to

Most SD1 V8's were 3.08:1, but the VDP would have something like 2.73:1
