I'm puzzled as to why you found it necessary to send us all an HTML message, containing the web page, when M R had already given us a link to it.
Possibly you think that nobody else on this list is capable of clicking on a URL. However, to use your own words, I guess you don't care.

It just says that 0/89 L/100 km is the same as 264 mpg. But, unless you convert to mpg yourself, you have no clue if the mpg is US or imperial. I have no intention of checking it out, because I don't care. But, you have to be very careful when quoting FFU, as you never know what version is being used.
