Within seconds you know simply doing the math in your head you need 1 liter to go 10KM or 100L to go 1000km.

When you think in metric things become quite simple, because most of the time when calculating you are just moving the decimal place.
That's a good trick.

After every fill I write the kilometres travelled on that tank on the gas slip and calculate the kilometres per litre. I confess that I then convert to miles per Imperial gallon, by multiplying by 2.84.
