When one talks about fuel economy (in Imp) it's written as mpg. When one talks about fuel consumption, the inverse of economy, it's usually in SI units and written as L/100 km. When you SAY "miles per gallon" versus "liters per hundred kilometers", I like the Imp. way better because it's just easier to say. So I was thinking, why not multiply the SI fraction by 10 : instead of 4.9 L / 100 km, make it 49 L / 1000 km, also written as 49 LpM (49 Liters per Megameter)? Technically it should be LpMm, but just for simplicity I removed the small m. Now we have something that's a whole number and is just as easy to say as 49 mpg.
I'm new to this mailing list so if this has already been brought up, please forgive me.
