The spelling of the word recommended by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures is "litre". However, the American English spelling is "liter", which is officially endorsed by the United States. (wikipedia) As a note, "litre" is marked as misspelled by Firefox. Anyway, 1 litre and 1 liter mean the same quantity. Not like gallon, which has different values depending on which side of the Atlantic you're standing. International Measurement System, anyone?

How many gas liters litres does your car need to drive 100km? Or for the US crowd, what mpg do you get from your car?

We have a Prius, so it's about 1000 klm to a 50 litre tank. Which is 5 litres, obviously.

He hasn't: liter is a perfectly acceptable spelling to many, many millions of English speaking people. You are being overly pedantic.

I pay 0.9 Eur per litre, so roughly 5 Euros for that hundred kilometers. You figure out how many pounds that is. :)

I meant what that in MPG? What that in old money is an idiom for 'Please turn that metric rubbish into imperial units that we all understand' (I know this only applies to the British!) I know an Acre is a furlong by a chain, I don't know what a hectare is.

I can eke out near enough 550 miles from a 45 litre tank.(assuming I put 50 litres in)(which can be done if you 'spout' it.) And I didn't have to ruin the environment by buying a prius.

Funny how British you are with your spelling yet use Twain (an American and, therefore, in your terms, a corruptor of the King's English) as your sig. Very amusing. I now spell colour as color because of Microsoft. Does that make me a bad person?

Very few bother to find the actual mileage of their cars in this country. A full tank of 80 litres keeps me going for at least a week, sometimes more. How much does petrol cost in your respective countries? Where I live currently (UAE) it's around US $ 2.79 a gallon. I am sure is at least 80 cents more than the average price in the US. Gasoline costs more in most oil producing countries than in the US. The only difference is the propensity to grumble ;)

In Venezuela it is about 5 US Cents a litre. Here (UK) it is $1 or so.

Is that somehow related to the volume of a stone of water at an arbitrary temperature? :rolleyes:

Hmmm difficult Question. I don't know what a liter is. My MPG I do know, but I am not one of the US Crowd. Here in UK I can get about 50 to the gallon if it is all motorway at reasonable speed. Around town I drop to about 25-30. This is in a 2.0 Litre Injection Peugeot 206CC [Mod] My Old Jag XJS V12 6.0 Litre managed about 4 to the gallon in town, which is why I got rid of it. A car with two engines is expensive when petrol hit £1.20 a litre!

Thats a British gallon (approximate 1/3rd larger volume than the American gallon.), correct? (Another case of two countries separated by a common language.)

Don't you fill your car just by digging a hole in the ground and wait for it to fill up?
