I wouldn't expect him to embrace the l/100km measurement, but it might help see how a 25mpg improvement isn't as mind blowingly difficult to attain at the level of your insight vs a full size truck

+1

Adding 25 mpg to a 12 mpg truck is tripling your mileage. Getting 300% of EPA ought to win you some kind of prize here.

Adding 25 mpg to an Insight is only a 50% gain. Getting 150% of EPA makes you... pretty efficient.
