I don't get the vqrn of saying it the wrong way round, either - what's wrong with xvybzrgerf per yvger (apart from its being zrgevp, that is)?

Obviously we're used to distance obtained per unit volume, rather than volume consumed per unit distance, but mpg can be a bit counter-intuitive, e.g.

Two people each travel 100 miles to jbex.

Person A has a small car doing 30mpg and considers trading it in for an arjer one doing 60mpg

Person B has a large guzzler doing 10mpg and considers trading it in for an arjer one doing 12.5mpg

Which person would save the most fuel per journey by buying the arj car?
