They are but now I prefer .05 GPM to 20 MPG.

I do as well.

Everyone in the US it seems to like bigger numbers. Just look at the argument some people use to why some people prefer Fahrenheit over Celsius.

... is what I would say, but Tesla seems to be the only one using the sensible Wh/m or Wh/km. All the German ones use the nonsensical kWh/h per 100km.

In fairness, 0 being cold and 100 being hot is pretty intuitive. I would be curious to know how people raised on Celsius feel about Fahrenheit after having lived with it long-term.
