Decimal time is a great idea. The French and Chinese were right!

Out in the open im pretty good with my inbuilt sense of direction compass but in the local massive shopping centre it is a whole different world i get lost very easily due to not being able to navigate by the sky so i just avoid that like the plague

I know a bloke who once tried to use the sun to navigate he and his wife in their old Renault across Bangkok in peak traffic. They got hopelessly lost, the Renault overheated, they found a garage to fix it and a local food vendor treated them to great hospitality.

Litres/100km makes more sense but I can convert to anything else if necessary.

Litres/100km is a measure of fuel consumption. Most of the others are measures of fuel economy.

In the real world my starting point is usually that I have a certain distance to cover and it is very simple to work out how much fuel I need to get me there. On any rare occasion when my starting point is that I have a fixed amont of fuel rather than a fixed distance to cover, I can do the calculation.

It is easy to postulate situations where a measure of fuel economy gives the information you need without the need for a conversion. In the real world, situations where you need to know fuel consumption rather than fuel economy are much more common.

BTW, I use PSI

Probably too close to the equator to get any real sense of direction. Let alone the high rise buildings in the way

Does this bloke's name rhyme with "FriscoRick"?

No mate, not me. I thought he was nuts. I know Thais who get lost in Bangkok, let alone a foreigner.
