mileage

Post by brad360 » 08 Jul 2005 01:05 pm

People in Ausralia still speak of mileage, though miles became obsolete in 1975.

My 1986 360 GLT has done 139,200 km

I've heard 15,000 per year is typical here.

Is petrol sold by the litre in UK? Do you get miles/litre economy figures?

How about not just a total, but also a bar graph showing car numbers in different categories,
say 20,000km intervals or something.

petrol in the uk is sold in litres, but we do miles, but we have mpg rather than mpl or l/km. dont ask me why.

541,200,000 feet

235,653,942.8571429 arm's lengths

90,200,000 fathoms

and

1,319,662,080,000 gnat's eyes

Indeed! Only cost you around £25 though!

I'm still considering LPG conversion, though for the miles I do (very few!) I don't see it being worthwhile at the moment.
