I voted for Km/L because here in brazil we use it that way. You should probably use something like this: X mpg (Y Km/L)

(I mean all measurements in the game will be metric or imperial.) +1 Being able to choose in options the measurements that you're used to would be the best. I found an online converter I use to convert from "distance per volume" to "volume per distance", just so I could get a sense how it compares to modern RL cars

Eventually I'll switch it to l/100, since most people who use km/l can also use mpg.

here in germany, every (real) manufacator advertises l/100 KM... mpg is absolutley uncommon here

I prefer L/100km, maybe create an option for switch L/100 or km/L in settings

The upside of l/100 km is that it's the same format as MPG, so that would make the reviews read a bit more fluent. Now it reads like it only uses a certain amount of distance for litre of gasoline...

MPG is distance per gallon, as such KM per L is distance per liter. l/100km is fuel per distance. So a different format. But it's already settled, I'll be switching to l/100km some point in time. It's not a huge issue, thus not a high priority however.

Eric, is not possible to have 2 options? I prefer Km/L because it is very common here in Brazil and maybe in others country in Latin America. Anyway. It is just a question that would please Greeks and Troians!! Haha
Just one more turn...

Just want to say I voted for L/100Km, but here in Norway we use neither of those formats. Here we have decided to use our own arbitrary retarded format. We have our own distance format: 1 Mil (pronounced almost the same as mile) = 10 Km So fuel efficiency is given as L/Mil. So it is the same fraction, just a shorter length. I believe they use the same system in Sweden too, but in Denmark i think they use Km/L. |
