True. Miles per gallons and gallons per 100 miles (mixing liters and kilometers into this is beside the point) are equivalent - you know one, you know the other, as long as you can divide. Some things are easier to grasp when using mpg, others when using g/100mi.
I can see the owner of a Hummer look up at the gas pump and do a quick mental calculation: "Hmm, I'm gonna have to drive real slow, like only 65mph, if I want to make it to the next gas station 200 miles away."
