True, however, I do calculate my fuel consumption all the time to make sure my car is in good running condition. Since I always fill it up, it's easier for me to do it via km/l, instead of 100 km/l. I take my odometer kilometerage and divide that by the number of liters I put in the gas tank. Most of the time I don't even use a calculator and obtain a good approximation by fiddling with the numbers so that my mental calc can be easier. Example, if my reading is 548.7, I just adjust that to 550. Then if my liter value was 33.1 I just take 100/3 and get the final result as 16.5 km/l! ;-) Marcus Get 250 color business cards for FREE! http://businesscards.lycos.com/vp/fastpath/
