>>Bill Potts wrote in USMA 19131 >> >>>There's a very common exception -- L/100 km. It is usual to rate machines by their fuel consumption, the less the better. This applies to lawn mowers, locomotives, airplanes and ships. In the English-speaking world automobiles have been rated by their fuel performance, the more thae better. In the rest of the world cars are frequently rated by their fuel consumption, with a range of values typically from 4.0 to 20.0 L/100 km. The same range of values could also be expressed as 0.040 to 0.200 mL/km, or 40 to 200 L/Mm. Joseph B.Reid 17 Glebe Road West Toronto M5P 1C8 TEL. 416-486-6071
