The Conversion of Retail Fuel Pump Computers to Sale by the Liter.

Abstract

Investigation of the conversion of retail fuel pump computers to sale by the liter is documented in this report. This study is based on (1) information presented and developed at public hearings held by the U.S. Metric Board (USMB) on May 2 and 3, 1979, and (2) USMB staff investigation and detailed economic impact analysis. This effort arose out of the steady rise in early 1979 of gasoline prices to the level of $1 per gallon (and above), coupled with the general inability of gasoline pumps to compute and dispense gasoline at such unit costs.
