I've also heard people say things like, "It gets great mileage, only 7 litres!"
Actually, in that specific circumstance, Zilders are probably quite likely to say "economy" - "It's got good economy, 7l/100km." That's ssuming they use that standard measurement. Most people I know measure it by how many k's to a tank, very scientific.
