Who remembers when fuel was sold by the gallon, in square cans, and we had to know how far we were traveling, to know how much fuel to buy?
Who remembers the old hand pumped fuel bowser's, I do.

As far as I can see, the only reason we have this ridiculous Ltr's\100 Km's, is some public servant reckoned it didn't sound right.
Being a long distance traveler, I have always calculated fuel consumption in either gallons\litre's per hour, or tons\tonnes per day.

And just where the hell does a 50% fuel efficiency increase come into your fantasies? Damned good engine tuner, and I want him to do mine right now.

Did someone say pedantic's?

Your Dad is not the only one like that mate. We have to suffer a 10 times less accurate national measurement system because some silly public servant females of the opposite sex, don't want a set of massive 900 mm boobies.
90 cm is much neater to their mind.
I like em best at 36" myself.

Hey Strangy, how does 96 ton per day sound? Economical running that is, get much "better" fuel burns at higher speeds.
50,000 HP uses a LOT of fuel.
