Our odometers are in miles though - so it's not completely mindbogglingly stupid. In the end realistically almost no one uses these numbers for range, what they do is compare car A to car B and know that higher is better. The figures from the manufacturer are meaningless and anything with an on board computer telling you your mpg can just as easily tell you range on remaining fuel.
