Talk:Mexican units of measurement

Native Units and US Customary Units Used in Mexico
According to the Metrication article, although Mexico has long since converted to the Metric system, some national and regional units are still in use and (due to American influence) some United States customary units also in use in some industries. I also found some info on Quora (which might not be 100% reliable). Would this be important enough to add to the article?

Going on from my previous comment, this is what I could gather for US Customary Units being used in Mexico.


 * Pounds per square inch (PSI) is used for air and water pressure.
 * Cups, teaspoons and tablespoons are used in cooking. Pounds are also sometimes used in recipes.
 * Ounces are used for baby formula and baby bottles.
 * Inches are used for nut, bolt and pipe measurements.
 * Display sizes for screens on television sets and computer monitors have their diagonal measured in inches.
 * The US Gallon is used for jugs of milk alongside liters.
 * Motor vehicles in Mexico have their speedometers label the speeds in either kilometers per hour only or have a duel gauge set that has kilometers per hour on the outside and miles per hour on the inside (similar to the speedometers used in Canada).
 * McDonald's sells its Quarter Pounder with cheese as "Cuarto de Libra con Queso", which translates from Spanish as "Quarter Pound with Cheese".
 * Shoe are sized either according to the foot length they are intended to fit, in centimeters, the mondopoint syster, or alternatively to another variation of the barleycorn system.
 * In border towns near the US border, US systems of measurements will be thrown around.
 * US based industries based in Northern Mexico will often run on American parts and as a result are usually in US customary units like inches.
 * Like in most countries, aviation (altitude and flight level) is measured in feet.
