I'm Canadian and buy litres of gas, but I still check the mileage in mpg. It's just because I have an instinctive idea of how many mpg I should get, whereas I have no instinct for l/100km. I know 35mpg is decent and 50mpg is exceptional, and 10mpg is unacceptable. What does 10L per 100km mean? I have no idea.
- _lce0 11y agoI can understand that it's not intuitive for you, but for me it's all the way round, so it's just everybody's bias according to different cultures btw, moving between unit is simple math: 35 MPG: ------- 35 miles ... 1 gallon 100 miles ... x gallon = 100 * 1 / 35 [gallon] -> ~2.86 gallons/100 miles .. and, look mom, no math! 10 L per 100 KM: ---------------- 10 l ... 100 Km 1 l ... x Km -> 10 Kms per liter .. which now that you think.. made sense for "10L per 100Km", isn't? that's the power of MKS
