Talking MPG vs l/100km

Lots of people hate "MPG" because it's "useless in the real world"... I think seeing the price at the gas station, which is price per gallon, then thinking 'Hey, my car can go 40 miles for that much! That's two trips to work and back!' is way better than using L/100Km and saying 'Hey, for that much, my car can go... wait I need to divide my L/100km average of 5.89 by 100 then multiply it by the 32 Km I drive to work and back, that means I can go to work and back for the price of gas times 1.88...that's X amount of money, awesome!"
