'Lowered adjustment' in this case means mpg, not l/100km, right? So lowering mpg by 15% = raising l/100km by 15%?

Maybe the garage could have an option that automatically calculates standard numbers depending on what type was entered? (This should go to the bottom of the to-do list, next to unit conversion.)
