| Fuel Economy
My car uses 10.5 liters of gasoline per 100 kilometers.
How efficient is your car?

What fuel economy would your car have, if you were to have one?

My car would use around 12.5 l/100km.

Well, I guess my car is more fuel efficient.
My car would get better mileage if I were to drive it more. Now that I bike to work, my car is parked for all but about a half hour a week. The family car has freakishly good fuel economy for a gas engine car with an automatic transmission. It uses about 6.8 L/100 km.

agreed, i have no idea what a liter/km equates to, and have no desire to figure it out.

According to Google's amazing calculator 10.5 liters per 100 kilometers is ~22mpg. My car is somewhere around 25mpg, I think (practically only city driving).

I wondered if anyone would have the ambition to figure it out.
In my spare nerd time, I've devised a formula. Well, sort of a formula.
Take the number in miles per gallon, multiply it by .004228, and take the reciprocal. It's approximate.

Eh, I would wish it too, but then I'd have to learn all these new units. And I wouldn't be very happy.

You already know all of the units. The only problem is visualizing them. But I suppose that would come after using them for a while.
