A slightly clearer way to write it is like: 100K mi
The K is then clearly a x1000 multiplier, not part of the unit
abbreviation.

You made that up, no such thing as a kilomile (even my spell checker
thinks so), or is this some sort of aeronautical term?
Kilo is a metric term and miles is part of the ancient and outdated
system that only backwards people use.
You can use k to abbreviate kilo, meaning a 1000 and you can use km
to abbreviate kilometers but a kilomile would be 1609.344km, so if
that R320 has done 199kilomiles, it has in fact
traveled.........well......lots
Hendrik
who may let you use the term kilomile if he gets a shiny plate
