So if user wants to enter fuel in liters, he/she checks kilometers option. After submit, script makes conversion.
That's the easy part, by my estimation.

To compare cars fairly, all entries would need to be in the same units of measure. So the metric entries would need to be converted to miles. Or all entries would need to be converted to some "universal" system. To add extra complexity, Imperial Gallons would need to be converted to US gallons. Or all would need to be converted to metric.

When you're only "competing" against yourself it's not an issue - but when cars are being compared such as EcoModder Team Competition, you need a uniform basis for comparison.
