What do they call "mileage", as in fuel mileage, in Europe??

Question

Fuel Kilometerage??
Or for that matter, when you get credit for flying on an airplane, is it still called Flight Miles or is it Flight Kilometers?

Answer 1

I'm from Australia and we, as a figure of speech, probably say mileage. We work in kilometers, though. Us Aussies use all sort of lingo and jargon. So we just say to one another 'how's the mileage on ya set of wheels, mate?'
And the other bloke would say ' She's a fair dinkum ripper on mileage, mate!. She'll be apples, cobber!"

Thats what us Aussie would say! True blue!

Answer 2

I am a bit confused about this question
The only Place in Europe with english as official language is Great Britiain.
And they have miles to, so why dont call in mileage?
In other countries they dont speak english (only as foreign language) so there is no reason to use an english word. So the problem with "mile"age does not appear.

For example: In german its "Reichweite" oder "Benzinverbrauch"

Answer 3

In Dutch it is 'km per liter', (or in some cases 'liter per km'.)
In less formal use, 'hoeveel gebruikt ie' or 'hoeveel drinkt ie' = how much does it use or drink.
And in the Netherlands you save air-miles, which most people get in shops and spend in the same or other shops, sometimes for a holiday in the Netherlands, but nearly never for flying.

Answer 4

We call it mileage! And Air Miles.

Answer 5

They call it "fuel economy".
