How about the same question using the same cars rated at 59, 37 and 27 gallons / 1000 miles respectively

And suppose the question was how many miles can you get out of a tank of gas? Don't you think people buy a car with that in mind? How would knowing gallons per mile help easier than knowing miles per gallon?

Hey! How about we invent a solution to a problem that really doesent exist? What's the Duke University phone number?

When we’re having congressional hearings and proposed sweeping new laws based on range per tank of gas, working in miles per gallon would make things easier.

For the problems of today, clarity about fuel economy is more important.

Besides, the public school graduates who couldn’t figure range from gallons per mile largely can’t figure range from miles per gallon either. Those people are why there’s still a quarter of a tank left when the needle hits E.
