The UK is metric except for distance and beer.
So the disgusting ‘miles-per-litre’ is presumably needed too.

Well, if you want to be pedantic, it's litres-of-fuel per km-driven. That doesn't cancel as nicely, if you don't drop the annotations.
Arguably, we should probably use kg-of-fuel (or mol) instead of litres-of-fuel anyway.
