It's more useful to know how far the unit of fuel I'm buying will take me than it is to know how many units of fuel I need to buy to make it 100Km.

It's also a cultural thing.
The Dutch, just north of the border and speaking the same language, use km per liter.
Over here in Flanders (the northern part of Belgium) hardly anybody uses km/L.
