I know I can just Google this... But to encourage discussion in this forum, I decided to create a topic instead. I ask that you do not Google for an answer.

So yeah, what do they say? Kilometer-age?

10 km is a mile, so mileage?

Here we just still call it mileage, but Canada tends to just do whatever the States is most of the time.

There's also like, fuel efficiency, and Car ads show it in L/100km instead of miles per gallon.

P svenska kallar vi 10 km fr en mil.

If you don't know have any clue what you're talking about, why post?

If you call it mileage, is it actually still in miles per gallon or L/100km?

1 mile is actually ~1.6 km IIRC

I think its still mpg, but idk, I'm not super in touch with the car crowd, so its always used pretty informally.

Here's how I look at the conversion and bear with me its going to get a little complicated.

Outside/Inside Temperature: Celsius
Oven Temperature: Fahrenheit
Long Distance and Speed: Kilometers
Short Distance Measurement: Feet/Inches
Fluids: Liters
Bathroom Scale Weight: Pounds
Food Scale Weight: Ounces

Yeah, my measuring system is all sorts of messed up.

No. Using the same term, but giving it a different value is weird...
Now I wanna know who was first to use the term mile.

usually it means distance driven on your car, at least that's what I interpret it as.

All miles originates from the Roman miles, which originates from Latin mille, which means 1000.

I don't think we have a term for that in Denmark. We just say "x km on the litre"

Distance your car can drive per volume of fuel. Like miles per gallon.

I actually looked it up for Swedish and there are two different terms depending on meaning:
