minus-squareMadlainelinkfedilink8•10 months agoGuess the difference is what you grew up with and therefore intuitively prefer: allegedly american thinking: This baby sucks X gallons.

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•10 months agoAnd the non american to bigger number=bigger fuel consumption
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•10 months agoThat’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
