Convert 50 liters to galUS then convert 75 liters to galUS

50g required steps (12):

1. R-Shift
2. Units
3. Vol (F4)
4. NXT
5. 50
6. l (F1)
7. L-Shift
8. gal (F4)
9. 75
10. l (F1)
11. L-Shift
12. gal (F4)
    

Prime required steps (24):

1. 50
2. Shift
3. Units
4. Volume (4)
5. l (touch)
6. Sto> (touch)
7. Shift
8. Units
9. Volume (4)
10. swipe up
11. galUS (touch)
12. Enter
13. 75
14. Shift
15. Units
16. Volume (4)
17. l (touch)
18. Sto> (touch)
19. Shift
20. Units
21. Volume (4)
22. swipe up
23. galUS (touch)
24. Enter
    

And the more conversions I have to do, the worse the Prime is because I always have to keep bringing back the unit menu and hitting Enter. :-(

I would do:

[50,75]_l sto> _galUS

the answer will be [10.21,19.81]_galUS. If you have more than two values just do a bigger vector.

If you really have to convert very often from liter to Gallons you can also use the spreadseet app. Unit conversion works also in the spreadsheet, so you use column A for liters, store GalUS conversion in B, save the app with a new name and each time you have to convert lots of values you just call the new app and insert the liter values in column A. Column be will give you the values in GalUS.
