When you tell someone about your trip, he doesn't want to hear that you stayed on the

interstate most of the time and maintained 58 miles per 47 minutes, and that the car

averaged almost 19.5 miles per 83 ounces. It's a lot easier to say, easier to understand,

and easier to compare, if you reference your results to hours and gallons.
