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.
I guess I dont mind when the auto manufacturer gives me a whole number rating that tells me a couple useful things about my car; like what its range is (miles per gallon) and what its efficiency is.
Remixing everything so that the 90 IQ's can do efficiency comparisons in their head with fractional numbers (!) seems to me both stupid and useless. I doubt Joesephine Sixpack will use it in a way that would jusify Pinheads 1 and 2 clever idea to regulate the auto industry one more time ; in a trivial, unjustifiable way
