Liters per 100-Kilometers covers a wider span of use. With boats and airplanes, I’d agree about Time having precedence.
Sorry, though, this is the USA. We should have converted to metric in 1903.
Rationality wasn’t part of that false resistance to a needed change.
Efficiency & Clarity don’t impress us.
In the meantime, noting a fuel burn penalty as a percentage is partly dependent on knowing what is possible for that vehicle (and conditions). Being off from previous by 19% usually means a vehicle problem.
But, just getting others to record annual gallons is heroic.
