you guys are funny! As a Canadian we do use the Liters/100Km. that's kind of tough to really picture, 100 kms is 62 miles.
My Burb is American and it's in miles but it also has Kms. the sierra is Canadian and has Kms but also has miles. my sierra is primarily a farm truck and I have not paid attention to mileage.
what's funny is no matter what unit of measurement, Miles/Gallon or Liters/100 Kilometes, we call it mileage. LMAO. which is another problem up in Canada as we use both.
We may be a Metric country but SOOOOOOO many things are still Imperial.
Every single blueprint for everything starts in Metric and is then normally converted to Imperiel. Thank goodness!
Metric may make more logical sense but who wants to talk in 1000's of millimeters? like frig those numbers are ridiculous. 10 Feet is 3048 MM. I much prefer the Imperial system but understanding both and being able to convert from one to another is absolutely necessary.
Up here in Canada we have to have both SAE and Metric tools. If you dont have both then you dont have all the tools.
so back to the fuel. it's much easier to visualize Miles/Gallon than L/100Kms. there is no kilometers/liter as that number would be a ridiculous one.
1G=3.78L
1L=0.26G
theres a big difference there and so that's why Canada uses the Liters/100Kms.
the only way to really visualize that is to know a route that is 100Kms. I always have to visualize from one city to another. but I cant visualize the liters. I can visualize gallons and if I need to I will convert the miles to Kms. LOL
anyways my burb gets about 17.5 miles/gallon when its running perfect and I think that's quite good.
