minus-squarecaptainlezbian@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·10 months agoYeah maybe it’s just being an American but mpg makes sense in an intuitive way, so kpl sounds like it would be rightish. I’d never guess that people would use l/100km, and I use metric somewhat regularly in my personal life
minus-squareMadlaine@feddit.delinkfedilinkarrow-up0·10 months agoGuess the difference is what you grew up with and therefore intuitively prefer: allegedly american thinking: This baby sucks X gallons. Let’s see how far I can get with it allegedly non-american thanking: I need to drive roughly X 1/2 hundred kilometers, and that will burn that much fuel.
minus-squarecaptainlezbian@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·10 months agoI’d change the American thinking from that to bigger number goes further for same fuel/how many miles til I refuel.
minus-squareonion@feddit.delinkfedilinkarrow-up0·10 months agoAnd the non american to bigger number=bigger fuel consumption
minus-squarecaptainlezbian@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·10 months agoThat’s fair, though there was a non American agreeing that every other number is bigger is better so it’s nice when all numbers are that way. That said all this is soon to be irrelevant. We’ll all be using wh/m soon enough
