Apparently nothing better to do........

What happens when busy bodies have no lives of their own.

[cripplecreek]

How bout meters per liter?

Then everybody can have spectacular mileage.

[anton]

My 454 K2500 Burb gets about 5 mpg when I’m towing something. So do I save more money by running over the Prius in my way or slowing down and traveling at 45mph with him? I say run over it.

[aimhigh]

It’s all about motive. The self righteous greenies want to move to mileage tax.

[IYAS9YAS]

The panel urged that fuel use be displayed as fuel consumed - perhaps as volume of fuel used per 100 miles

25 MPG equals 4 gallons consumed over 100 miles (using the same math I learned more than 35 years ago). How many gallons is that in public school education math this month?

[Pontiac]

Why not give people a more useful yard stick with which to compare vehicles.

Dollars per year incurred to operate a vehicle given 15,000 miles travelled would be a good yard stick.

Most people know what they can afford in their budget. With mileage ratings they have to do the math.

[Boiler Plate]

How would these guys know what measure is more effective? They don’t even drive cars.
MPG is more accurate than L/100KM, has better real life application and is easier to calculate.

[OrioleFan]

Why can’t these greenie weenies invent something instead of redefining something that’s currently accepted?

Oops... I think I just answered my question.

[BfloGuy]

Changing it makes sense. Distance traveled per gallon is more meaningful and provides a better comparison. Why the resistance? It’s not as if they’re suggesting we go metric.

[Red Badger]

How about Furlongs per fortnight?..............

[Fresh Wind]

How about metric tons of carbon emission per kilometer?

[lentulusgracchus]

[Art.] This standard is used already in Europe, with fuel use being given in terms of litres used per 100 kilometres travelled.

Oh, well, hell -- debate over!

They do it that way in Europe!!!

[P.O.E.]

How about “evil exploitation of the world’s resources sin points” per mile /sarc

[rightwingcrazy]

An environmental motoring website, GreenCarReports.com, welcomed the move, saying that it had been calling for the change for over a year and describing the mpg measure as "stupid".

Leftists sure like to throw the word "stupid" around. Maybe it's projection.

[WayneS]

Hogsheads per furlong?

[Haiku Guy]

It asks the question: "Do you save more gasoline by going from 10 to 20 mpg, or going from 33 to 50 mpg?"

Obviously by going from 10 to 20. You are doubling your milage per gallon. Everybody knows that the low end of the range is where the big savings are.

This is just more "Europe Is Better" nonsense. It all means the same thing, but this guy reflexively believes that the European way is the smart way and the American way is "stupid".

It's always that way with this type of guy.

[WayneS]

...and while we’re at it, we should calibrate speedometers to read in “roods per fortnight”.

Then we can raise speed limits by several orders of magnitude.

[Alberta's Child]

Ton-miles per gallon might be the best indicator of fuel efficiency of all. I’ll bet some full-sized pickup trucks would actually grade out very high under that kind of standard!

[Haiku Guy]

Since when is a “Hundred Kilometer” a unit of measure?

If they want to talk liters per kilometer, well, that makes sense. Or maybe milliliters per kilometer, if they want to deal with intergers.

Thirty MPG would be 12.75 km/liter or 78 milliliters per kilometer.

If'n a man drank a quart of buttermilk before he started ...
and ran a mile before he f*rted ...
and the faster he runs the farther he gets ...
how far can he run before he sh!ts??
