What is this "km/L" business you speak of?

Ok. Let's all be nice as 'globalization' is here to stay

Just google conversion programs.

I average 21 MPG.

One man's nice is another man's humor. Or something like that.

I find "L/100km" (Liters per 100 kilometers) to be a pretty unnatural unit of measure, really. Wouldn't it make more sense to just call it cL/km (centi-liters per kilometer) and avoid the extra factor which can't be compounded as a standard SI prefix? Either way the number in question remains the same (e.g. 13 L/100km is equal to 13 cL/km).

19.3 average MPH per the Nissan gauge with less than 800 miles on my 370Z.

If I'm not mistaken, this means this user gets roughly 18.0934 miles per gallon.

13L = 13L (0.264172052gal / 1L)
100KM = 100KM (0.621371192mi / 1KM)
62.1371192mi / 3.434236676gal = 18.09342950 mi/gal

Yeah. Don't ask me why I know all of the unit conversions. Too many science classes FTL.

Sweet. OMGWTFBBQ did the conversion for me. I didn't even have to google it!

I'm actually not anti-metric. I think the US should've switched over a long time ago. It's pretty dumb for us to cling to our antiquated measuring system while the entire REST OF THE WORLD uses a more modern, logical system.

That said, I have no idea what metric measurements "look" like (as in, how much is a 50 meters? I dunno), so kindly wait to make this transition until after I'm dead. Thanks!
