I sometimes actually use that type of info, so it's not just a "brain teaser" concern.

Wanting to get a certain round trip mpg, if conditions on the two legs are going to be different, at the end of the first leg I need to know what my return leg fuel consumption should be to attain my round trip target. It's easier to figure out using gal/mi or L/100 km than using MPG. Unfortunately, the ScanGauge doesn't help me there.
