Metric.
Where does water boil? 100 degrees. Freeze? zero. What's a kilometer divided by 2? 500 meters. By 2 again? 250 meters. Again? 125...75...37.5...18.75..9.375 or 9 meters and 37.5 centimeters which can be divided into any amount you want, and is more accurate than the measuring tape. What's your system?
Imperial.
boil? not sure. Some arbitrary number. Freeze? dunno. 1/2 mile. 1/4 mile 1/8 mile. I don't know. Screw it. Fuck off!
I can walk and measure in feet, so our system is better.

It was always annoying converting from mpg to L/100km, which I can visualize better..

The real problem is, people aren't taught to THINK anymore, so they have to have information like this spoon-fed to them like they're mindless idiots. | THIS!

THAT. But why do you want to make the average consumer THINK? THIS IS MURICA!

I think volume/distance (How much will it cost to get from A to B?) is more relevant today than distance/volume (How far can I go on a tank of gas?).
Very few people are concerned with planning where to stop for gas on cross-country trips. Many people are concerned with how much the trip will cost.

This is exactly what I'm talking about : it's fucking simple math: if your car gets 20mpg, then going 100 miles will take you 5 gallons. 100 miles, divided by 20 miles per gallon, equals 5 gallons. Easy, see?
If you're trying to figure out how much it will COST, you're doing the SAME FUCKING MATH anyway, figuring dollars per volume per distance.
