If you don't use moronic units like miles and gallons I think it's fine, but [...] is still superior
MPG is far superior, because you can easily base it off time. 60mph is a mile a minute, and is the most efficient speed by which to travel. Whereas 100km is almost a mile a minute, but not quite. Over long distance this doesn't work out so well, but Europeans don't know much about long distance. Aussies are the exception. The KM is just an arbitrary unit of measurement about the speed of a baguette in a vacuum or some bullshit.
Base 10 is moronic, and is only good for teeny tiny measurements(though thousandths of an inch is superior, albeit decimal) or massive measurements. When it comes to computers, a base 12, or more accurately a base 6, is the superior method. It is only in use because Napoleon conquered half the world and couldn't measure the kilometers to cross a fricking ocean. Maybe if he used miles he might have had the capability to field his army properly in Waterloo.
>MPG is far superior, because you can easily base it off time.
That's MPH.
GPM; Trip=Fuel Capacity (M/Gal); Only Multiplication. Can easily track remaining fuel range from gauge.
L/100;Trip=100*Fuel Capacity/(L/100); Both Division and Multiplication. Can't easily track remaining fuel range from gauge.
The problem about converting MPG to L/100 is that there is a conversion error in favor of L/100, sometimes increasing the initial MPG rating when changed back. There is no room for mistakes between long distances without services.

at 60 miles per hour you're going a mile a minute, which is very easy to work with and most likely very similar to whatever highway mpg you've clocked before

MPG is not MPH, in fact nobody really knows what speed the MPG rating was tested at so it takes a public broadcast car review show to 'discover' it.
pretty sure at 60 you are hitting significant air resistance already, I think its something like 30 is where it's still negligible and your MPG is purely the drive train.
>superior
It's a shit designation.
Is tire wear rated at "1.2 tires per 100,000 km"?
No, they're rated at 80,000 km.
Name anything elae that's rated in the same manner.
MPG makes sense because it tells you when you need to fill up again. "Oh, I'm getting 20mpg and I need to drive 100 more miles and have 5.5 gallons of gas, it'll be close, but I can make it!"
Meanwhile the L/100km homosexuals are like "oh gee whiz, I'm 160km so that's, um, 1.6 x my L/100km and OH SHIT NOW I'M WRECKED BECAUSE I WAS DOING FRICKING MATH WORKSHEETS WHEN I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE DRIVING"
The idea of of l/100 is that you use your partial odometer to figure out how much fuel you have left in the tank since you put fuel in it, rather than the imprecise fuel tank level indicator.
Those in car fuel mileage meters are never accurate. Just determine your actual mpg every time you fill your tank. My car consistently gets 3mpg less than what the number on the dash says it's getting.
>P R N D
Heh, moron.
17 is nannying it 25 is hypermiling. See if you can get single figures next time.
Mpg is the poor mans perspective.
>I have a gallon of fuel
>how far can I drive with it?
This, L/100km is for enjoyers
>How many litres can I use in 100km?
That's such a homosexual way of measuring shit.

L/100km is a good way to run out of gas.

*maths worksheet
most modern cars have these little funny gauges that show the remaining amount of fuel
The idea of of l/100 is that you use your partial odometer to figure out how much fuel you have left in the tank since you put fuel in it, rather than the imprecise fuel tank level indicator.
See, poorgays perspective.
>little yellow lamp turns on
>go to a gas station
>fill it up
My car also tells me how much range I have left. No need to run excel to figure out if I can make it home or not.
Mpg is not linear.
Improving from 10mpg to 12mpg is not the same like going from 40 to 42.
No refunds
>laughs in 8mpg of C16
E85 at 15 right here. Dohc is ohc.

Only if you drive like an elderly EPA test driver.
How many gears does your mall crawler have?
try going downhill u newb
Sticker mpg is double the real one.
That's only if you drive like a gay
