Canada pretty much uses X litres/100km nowadays recently replacing mpg. The lower the litres, the more efficient the vehicle. It actually was fairly easy to become accustomed to these new metrics.


It's an extremely convenient metric.

L/100km is roughly equivalent to L/h at highway speeds, and you can figure Litres to destination when you see a road sign by multiplying L/100km by the hundreds place.

With gas stations being upwards of a hundred kilometres apart in the prairies and northern ontario, especially at night, it's nice that this is so easy.


Ah, good point: so that means we should be using Gallons per 60 miles! :)
