I *wish* my cars could display how much fuel was left in some kind of unit.
Every car I've driven so far only has your standard quarter-tank marks on a
dial. In the US they sell fuel by the gallon. (I live in a place where you
aren't allowed to fuel your own car.  People get confused if you ever try asking
for a certain number of gallons rather than a certain number of "dollars-worth"
or "full".)
