While I agree, I'll also pose part of my personal quandary with L/100Km: RESOLUTION. It's only ever out to 1 decimal place, which isn't very much.
2.0 L/100Km = 117.6 MPG
2.1 L/100Km = 112.0 MPG
One decimal place is 5.6 MPG difference? On a 12-gallon tank, that's a difference of 67.2 MILES of travel. Sure, it's only 5/8 of a gallon, but sometimes 60 miles is the difference between STOP NOW or "I'll make it home."
