I believe that would be CXIV pence and IV/X of a pence or whatever Romans used I think Bronze asses (not making that one up) 😁

Not defending the cali population, but your math is off: 5.699/3.785(US gal to L)*0.76(USD to GBP current conversion) = £1.144 per liter

You are slightly missing the point my friend but in support of your pursuit of pedantics English vocabulary tends to use the term mathematics or maths 👍

Unusual post, Malc, and intellectually taxing.   MCXXXXIV pence will buy you X liters and, as Peniole says, CXIV (with the last pence rounded down) would buy you I liter if the pump is calibrated to dispense it.  It is not easy, and maybe impossible, to draw a meaningful parallel between present-day Californian economics and those of any particular era of Ancient Rome, but I would reckon that the ancients were no less likely to complain about the price of a kilo of horse feed than Californians about a gallon of gas.

I think, Renato, that by identifying the almost insurmountable complexities that they would have faced in developing a practical pump for dispensing fuel, you may have explained the total absence of any signs of the internal combustion engine in Ancient Rome.😊

Indeed, can it really just be coincidence that where you find most petroleum deposits, you also find Arabic numerals?

Just saying…..

Libra (as per Phil above) = Roman Pound, not the 12-ounce Troy one sometimes erroneously thought to be named after the ancient city.  As a unit of measurement for transportation fuel, one libra of Etruscan-grown oats might have provided a small Roman donkey with a quick snack.

Just as well it did, Malc, since the ancients may also have used it for other less mentionable purposes.

My wife felt that her boobs were to small and ask me if she could have a boob job to make them bigger

i told her that if she grabbed a handful of toilet paper and rubbed it up and down between her breasts it would make them bigger.

nothing happened she exclaimed

A few stolen from another forum. 
 

I bought a map from Bono. It’s rubbish. All the streets have no name and I still haven’t found where I’m looking for.

My mate does backing vocals.

It’s his voice you hear on the “This vehicle is reversing” message.
