There’s also weird stuff how things like fuel consumption is measured. In the US we use “miles per gallon” which makes sense in a non-metric country. I was born in a metric country where we used “kilometers per liter” which also makes sense. But then cars have this setting for European countries where they show “liters per 100km”. WTF? Who in the hell measures things like that and why?
TL;DR it’s possible to do stupid things with any measuring system.
Canada here we always use Litres per 100km, because it shows fuel consumption per a static , rather than distance being the variable value. It seems odd, but when you are doing certain math on range and fuel usage it actually makes more sense. there are articles that can explain it better than I can
