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).

Like most, it seems, about 21 mpg overall. That's without any thought given to fuel mileage.

A little over 22 with around a 60/40 split between freeway and city driving. My driving style is relatively reasonable. I've got the 6MT and I try to get it into 6th quickly in general, but do enjoy punching it from time to time....

But then again, I've only got about 4,300 miles on the car. As I remember, my 350 managed about 21-22 mpg for the first few thousand miles, but creeped up to 24 mpg as time went on. I don't think I made any changes to my driving style so I chalk it up to the computer optimization over time.

Just checked this tank of gas....13.8 mpg with an average speed for 20.2 mph. So as you can see, my car has a hard life of stop and go...light to light traffic. I hardly ever hit 4th gear on my commute.

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.
