Implementation defined.

But like kWh you can easily learn (either intuitively or by the dark magic of multiplication) the ratio between tanks and ability to get to your destination.

The idea that people can't learn that they get roughly 6 or roughly 3 etc km per kWh with their driving style and thus physical units should be hidden from them is insulting and anti-intellectual. Stop trying to project your stupidity and anti-curiosity onto others.

Says the idiot who doesn't even know what a unit is.

An international standard unit is not the same thing as a unit. A cubit is a unit even though people's arms aren't all the same size.

I said stop trying to project your stupidity onto others, not double down on it.
