Join us, we have L/100km instead
Can I please buy some of that $2.90 per gallon gasoline?
Cheap gas is half the reason we’re in this mess.
I get confused by any other system than KMs per litre
My car gets 40 rods to the hogshead and that’s the way I likes it.
I wish that were used. But instead we get this inverse, L/100 km.
Edit: after reading the article, apparently this is actually better. Even though km/L might seem easier to work with, it is misleading in terms of how you compare two vehicles.
It’s why the 2007 Chevy Tahoe Hybrid won a green car award. It may have been a measley 21MPG city (11.2 L/100km, 4.8gal/100mi), but that was 30% better than previous models.
Notably, the US DOE shows gal/100mi on their fuel economy website already. https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/bymodel/2007_Chevrolet_Tahoe.shtml https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/bymodel/2008_Chevrolet_Tahoe.shtml
Good point, but GPHM has more syllables, and GPM makes it sound small;
but still, maybe 50, 25, 15, and 10 MPG could be expressed as 0.02, 0.04, <0.07, and 0.1 GPM.
