This, a thousand times this, it's how we measure mileage over here.

Yes, liters per 100 km is the standard way of denoting it in many European countries, I'd strongly advise adding this option too :)

Ohh, if that's so :P please not the shoulder again! :lol:
I wonder how many "random" different (and utilized) systems there actually are for this, seems to come with a large variety.

Re: Units of Measurement, Driving Cars and Beta Testers

Sorry, I am little confused...it will be in km/litre in game? I'm just asking because I know the car companies here (in Australia) always measure/advertise "mileage" as litres/100km too.

I also do realise that this is still under development.

Re: Units of Measurement, Driving Cars and Beta Testers

Both in the end, various places seem to use L/100km, km/lt so we'll have both :)

This is my first post after lurking around quite a bit. :) First I have to thank you for developing this game, this is everything I ever wanted!

I have a question about fuel economy measurement. In your list there are three options for that (km/lt, mpg(UK), mpg(US)). In Europe (or at least in Germany) it is more common to express fuel economy in liters per 100km. So when a car makes 20km with 1 liter, it needs 5 lt/100km. Could you please add this option? I know, it's a rather simple calculation, but I would love not to have to calculate too much by myself. ;)

Regards


In Belgium it's also like Smileskull writes. It's much easier for us guy's to have it that way.

Re: Units of Measurement, Driving Cars and Beta Testers

it wouldn't surprise me if the uk go this route also seeing as our fuel is sold in litres

very few people seem to know how many litres are in a gallon and even fewer seem to know how to work out there mpg

my fathering law has worked out that his 1992 range rover does 55mpg :roll: :lol:

:lol: Suffice to say, his math's a little off there.

In Norway, and I think the other Scandinavian countries as well, it's litres per metric mile (10 km). So a litre/100 km option would be greatly appreciated. :)
