My car gets 40 rods to the hogshead, and that’s how I like it.

My car gets 40 rods to the hogshead,...

That's driving at how many furlongs per fortnight?

I think that it's somewhat similar for the stoatmobile, and I've noticed that it doesn't seem to run quite so well after a trip to Canada where the gas pumps are set to liters.  There seems to be a visceral rejection of these artificially contrived measurements.
