Thread: Litres/100km to MPG

I think that's supposed to be 282.6

I was relying on memory (who am I??) it is as Awest says 282.48

Maybe you can find a website to do it for you.

Maybe you didn't read my post about 3 or 4 from the start of this thread. I did the math, then wrote the program that did the calcs for you to make life just that little bit easier. I didn't steal it from any website.

Handy unit convertor. Down load, install and see the 'Fuel Consuption' tab.

Australian software from Boulder WA. Maybe he drives a Landy.

Well actually yes i did, I just didn't like your smart arse comment thats all. Time to build a bridge and get over it, I have

One mans joke is anothers smart arsed comment.

I was just aiming attenetion at the fact that you seemed to think that it is wrong to use tools that people have created to make life easier and that everyone should put that little bit of extra effort in just because they can. I like a lot of other people out there can and do exercise our brains in a multitude of ways already and prefer to use "slacker methods" or tools to save time etc every now and then. That doesn't mean we should go back to fundamental methods all the time. My comment merely highlighted the fact that in everyday situations we use tools most of the time and to ridicule someone for choosing between brain strain and adapting others technology is in itself unneccesary.

Not starting a war just expressing an opinion. No need to build a bridge as I don't feel I have burnt any. As like all opinions I may be wrong (it has been known before).

No matter how many times I read it I still see it as a personal attack more than a joke, but if that is how you ment it, then I accept that
