Refuelled in litres, but with efficiency measured in miles per gallon. It's kind of a mess.
- bostonpete 8y agoMiles per US gallon or miles per imperial gallon?
- magduf 8y agoThe latter, miles per UK gallon. Watch out for that, because if you don't know better, you'll read about some car in the UK and wonder why it has such astounding fuel economy!
- Symbiote 8y agoThat's the case for cars, but I wouldn't be certain it's the same for buses, especially large fleets of public transport buses. All three British bus manufactures give all measurements except speed in metric, although none give an actual fuel consumption. (Just "20% better" etc.) [1], as the first reference I can find, uses both l/100km and mpg.
