Another really fun one, though slightly less literal than L/100km, is charging rates in electric vehicles, which often present charge state as range (km), rather than energy stored (kWh); and so if it takes you one hour to gain 300km of range, well… you were charging at a rate of 300km/h.
(With in-flight refueling, you could potentially refuel an aeroplane at 300km/h at 300km/h…)
