    Guess the difference is what you grew up with and therefore intuitively prefer:

    • allegedly american thinking: This baby sucks X gallons. Let’s see how far I can get with it

    • allegedly non-american thanking: I need to drive roughly X 1/2 hundred kilometers, and that will burn that much fuel.

      I’d change the American thinking from that to bigger number goes further for same fuel/how many miles til I refuel.

          That’s fair, though there was a non American agreeing that every other number is bigger is better so it’s nice when all numbers are that way.

          That said all this is soon to be irrelevant. We’ll all be using wh/m soon enough
