Miles per litre

They stopped selling petrol in the UK by imperial gallons around 20 years or so ago. We have since then had to buy petrol by the litre. The thing is, the speedometers in our cars are still calibrated in British miles. I know that no matter how I drive my car, I will get at least 300 miles per 50 litre tankful. But if I drive it really carefully, sometimes I can get more then 400 miles per tankful. Can we have a "miles per litre" / "litres per 100 miles" table on the fuel economy page.
Many thanks

Thank you for the suggestion. It sounds quite reasonable. Added it to our to-do list.

Just added "miles per litre" to our British section on fuel economy page. Enjoy.
