That's it! Nail on head! I never used to run out when it was imperial!

Seriously, there *is* a conspiracy - and it's described in the first

like it says on the tin. If they ever achieved that coverage it must
have been under artificial idealised conditions - a bit like vehicle
fuel economy measurements!
