Now I invert the economy rating and multiply? So 3,000/11? I guess that's 300 minus a bit km? Sorry that doesn't seem intuitive to me.
Unless you mean the other way around: I know exactly the distance of this windy road I want to try out this weekend and I'll go to that diner on the way back and I know it won't be closed? That sounds like no fun at all and lots of looking at a map.
27 mpg, half a tank is say 6 gallons, 6g*25mpg=150 miles + 2g*6mpg=162miles on the tank I have left.
(No the numbers aren't consistent, can't be bothered)

Guess it is just what you are used to as it does not seem convoluted to me at all.
I know that the tank is 1/2 full and that is 25 liters, I get 10 L/100 kilometers so I am good for 250 kilometers. There is no need to flip it back to how many kilometers I can go per liter as I already have my answer.
Neither way is more difficult or better then the other as they both tell you how far you can go on the fuel you have.
