What is the metric equivalent of mileage?

[partialderivative]

What do they say in countries where they have not had a history of imperial measurements?

There may well be other terms as well.

Kilometres?

Distance?

Mileage as in "how far" is just distance, and given in km.
Mileage as in fuel efficiency is calculated as litres per 100 km.

Fuel efficiency would be the generic I suppose.

what about a mileage claim for work?

you couldn't really call it a distance claim. "distance travelled claim" doesn't roll off the tongue very well.

It'd just be "travel expenses", and you'd write down "70km at xx/km" the same way you'd write down "£50 train ticket".

In a way it's weird that we have a specific word that covers both those circumstances.

I suppose I hadn't really sorted out what I meant in my own mind before I posted. I just happened to be thinking while I was driving (I promise I have stoppped driving!)

If I was to sell my car, would I say 'Low Mileage' meaning that the car had not been driven very far, or that it has good miles per gallon (km per litre)

Or is this a non-problem and everyone knows what they are talking about.

Mileage is clearly a rubbish word then since it could mean

• how much driving has been done in a car
• how much riving you can do with a set amount of fuel
• money given to you for having driven a distance

I've seen "kilometrage" used.

kilometrage makes sense as that is what it is in other languages (Spanish and French at least).

kilometrage? is it April fools? you can't be serious? haha

Google it, it's real.

The word is indeed "kilometrage" in French.

so it is! since I live in a KM using country I best add this to my vocabulary!
