The beauty of using L/100km is that if petrol costs
$1.30 per litre and your car does 8 L/100km, then the cost of the
petrol used to travel 100km is $1.30 x 8 (=$10.40) or 10.4c/km.
Other costs are also usually reckonned in cents per kilometre as
well.

I read somewhere that they use MPG in Canada, even though it
makes no sense in their metric environment. Any truth to this? In
this situation, even km/L would be better than MPG.

There is a comic strip in the US, "For Better

"must get 30 [I think] klicks per liter...." or some such.
Is there a move toward using km/L in Canada or
elsewhere in lieu of L/100 km? It would go over much better in the
US.
