    Reminds me of an app I downloaded the other day to help plan routes. They asked for my cars “KPL”.

    Like what? Who in the world says KPL? It’s l/100KM.

    While I’m aware that some places may use KPL, it just seems very American to go “hey, we use MPG, so they must use KPL”.

      I grew up with km/L.

      I don’t mind using whatever scale, but it’s somewhat better for comparing the numbers that cars actually use, because with l/100km every car is five something or six something.

      Also the higher numbers are better like everything else on the car comparison cards.
