It was meant as a joke, no insult intended. I do not usually post jokes in forums such as HN, but the fuel consumption fraction is a pet peeve of mine. I couldn't resist it. I teach GMAT classes, and recently, in the effort to be less US-centric, the GMAT started stating problems in metric units. They, however, still use the US fuel consumption fraction, not the European one, and it feels doubly odd. I did not know India used this strange mix. Learning new stuff every day.
