And measure speed in “furlongs per fortnight”.

I prefer “Furlongs per Fortnight”.

I think in Europe they use liters per 100 kilometers. At least whenever I’ve changed my trip computer to metric to see what happens, the fuel economy units switch to l/100km.

On a long trip while crusing, my SUV gets 25mpg, but would translate to about 9.4 l/100km if my math is correct.

Interesting...

I'm more of a "furlongs per fortnight" kind of guy.

"Inches per ounce?"

No - wait. That applies to another important measurement. . . . . .
