Bq Soon (Corrected)
I screwed up. Comes from old age and not remembering correctly.
The Europeans measure liters/100 kilometers which is the reciprocal of the
way we do it.
And they look for a low number.
One measure that hasn't been mentioned is that of automobile gas mileage
(kilometerage?). In the US, we measure miles per gallon and look for a
high
number. In metric countries, they measure kilometers/100 liters and look
for a low number. This would cause mass confusion among the public, not to
mention the regulators (EPA).
