I am completely failing to get over their use of "wing span".  I didn't even notice the actual glaring dumb issue at first.

Wingspan is a commonly used term in sports, especially basketball.

Long enough to chisel some words into a stone slab. What I'm saying is that god dictated the commandments to Moses who wrote them down. This is why there's only ten of them. "ARE YOU GETTING ALL OF THIS DOWN?" "Yeah yeah, number eleven, Though shalt eat a balanced diet" "ARE YOU SURE? YOU DIDN'T WRITE MUCH THAT TIME" "Yeah look, it's right here, see? You can read can't you?" "UH, YES OF COURSE I CAN, I SEE IT." Outrail has a new favorite as of 18:57 on Sep 21, 2016 |

Fun fact: that book, Song of Solomon, is the source of the term “ivory towers”—and yes, you can guess at what it was used for there.

At least it wasn't liters/gallons per 100km, the most pointless of fuel consumption measurements.

You have to be kidding. I get x km per litre. I have a 30 litre tank. Therefore I can go 30x km before I need fuel. Or How far is it to a place? It's 270 km. If I get x km per liter than I need 270/x litres to get there. Using y liters per 100km just means additional equations that are less intuitive. Fuel is sold in liters, which is standard. Why use anything else as the constant variable?

Fuel∕distance is more intuitive when comparing vehicles.Outrail posted:You have to be kidding. All it does is swap which question is solved with division and which is solved with multiplication: I require x litres per 100 km. I have a 30‐litre tank. Therefore, I can go 30 ÷ x ∙ 100 kilometres How far is it to a place? It’s 270 km. If I require x litres per 100 km, I need 270∕100 ∙ x litres to get there. There’s an extra constant in there, but it’s a power of ten.  if you can’t shift a decimal point to places to the left.The old set of equations is only more intuitive in that you are already acquainted with it. By similar logic, U.S. customary units are more intuitive than SI, for most goons. Platystemon has a new favorite as of 08:17 on Sep 25, 2016 |

Let me just say that I live in a country where liters per 100 km is commonly used, and I don't get them. Those numbers are meaningless to me. I literally need to grab a chart of values for different vehicles and find if a number falls in the top, middle, or lower part to get an idea if a car uses a lot of fuel or not. I don't know if km/liter would be more intuitive though, I never had to deal with those values. E: A good argument which I hadn't considered yet.

I think he meant that he can't tell if 8 l/100km is a lot, or a little without a comparison chart. Which is a reader trying to blame his lack of knowledge (albeit understandable) on the indicator.

Come on, the range you need to know if you don't care about cars is what, 3 - 12l/100km? That's a thing you can't remember after checking it once?

I could see some use cases where l/100km is a bit less intuitive than MPG/MPL but comparing different cars is definitely not one of them. In fact, it's a much better way to compare cars because you can exactly see how much more or less fuel a car uses. E.g, 10l/100km car will use 2 fewer liters than 12l/100km, exactly the same as going from 7 to 5l/100km, which is far less obvious with the inverse nature of MPG. And the scale itself is extremely simple too: <5 is good, ~7 is ok, >10 is bad, at least as far as a regular joe motorist is concerned, though it would vary with fuel type and vehicle class.

When I'm shopping for cars, fuel per unit distance might be helpful. When my low fuel light dings on a dark rural road and now I'm trying to find a gas station and looking at my gas gauge every few minutes, I need to know how many miles per unit fuel my car can do. When frantically googling fuel stations, I need to know my car can do 20 miles with that last gallon, not that my car requires 5 gallons to travel 100 miles. Oh, and I know all of your fancy new cars have gauges that tell you how many miles you have left, but none of my cars do any math for me.
