Today I noticed that my onboard computer's units can be changed from liters per 100km to kilometers per liter, so I went for it. As has been mentioned by a few members, when your fuel consumption starts getting low and your OBC has only one decimal place, then km/l gives much better resolution. The break even point around 10l/100km=10km/l. For example, now I'll be seeing anything between 26.0 and 26.6 km/l, when normally it would have been rounded to just 3.8 l/100km. If I go lower, say to 3.3 l/100km, then the km/l range increases to 31.8-32.7, which would be equivalent to a second decimal place in l/100km (which is what I have been using in my own log).
