Flew an aircraft many years ago where we uplifted fuel in litres, calculated it in kg, the main tanks were gauged in Imp gal, and the aux tanks in USG. My brain hurt. Having then flown for many years using runway lenth in metres, I moved to a company which used manuals direct from Boeing (this in the UK) and I had to start thinking in feet. Counterintuitive.
