The standard way of stating metric fuel economy is liters per 100 km,

That's consumption, not economy. MPG represents economy. Somebody pointed
once out on cam.misc a while back that vehicle fuel consumption could be
measured in square millimetres -- think about it :-)

And why do so many rant on so much about the pint as the last bastion of
imperialism? Round it up to 600 ml -- over 5% more beer per round; what
could possibly be wrong with that?
