I only just realized that I can now start my own thread and remembered an ongoing question I have had.

Is there interest in tweaking/improving the setup of the fuel log portion of the Garage so that it can display the graph and summary information in L/100km or whatever other values are most desired by the user and can be viewed in whatever units are set by the viewer as their default display units?

I mention this because I see that the display graph is in mpg where I have heard reasons indicating that L/100km is a more useful fuel efficiency unit. It also is the unit used / displayed by vehicles in Canada.

Just a thought and wondering if there are others who have had the same thought.

After almost a year of using L/100km I still revert to mpg in my thinking at times, but if I used it exclusively, I think the transition would be complete much quicker, like learning a language by being immersed in it completely.

Just a thought and wondering if there are others who have had the same thought.
