- singingfish 14y agoerr, litres per 100 km makes even more sense, and is the metric we've adopted in all sensible SI using countries.

I found it surprising, but it would seem that some people can (or believe they can) reason in hyperbolic scales without making mistakes. Can't find the recent discussion, but an even older one is here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=779744 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=779744
