Default MEASURE UNITS???

I am sure all of you have seen the measure units in the MMI, where you can change between miles and kms, mpg vs km/lt, etc, my question is WHY there is one that says Gallons (us and uk) and Liters?? if the only thing showing in the MMI is the fuel consumption (either in MPG,km/lt, etc), basically if you put MPG and liters, the consumption is going to be showing in MPG, what are those liters units for? is there some way to see the remaining liters/gallons left or something?

We in Canada, like the rest of the world is "Metricated".
E.g: Fill ups are in liters and speed limits are in km/hr.

You do not understand me, I know the rest of the world uses metric system (I am from Mexico and we use metric system too) my question is WHY the MMI has an option for liters vs gallons if there is no indication of liters (or gallons) remaining anywhere. The only thing with liters or gallons is the consumption (mpg vs km/lt vs l/100kms) but that one is independent than the liters or gallons option.

It could be that the people writing the code for the MMI software use regular boiler plate, blocks, snips or whatever from their tool box to fill in the ordinary parts. Then they customize the outputs to make it functional.

Parts could be in there that are not utilized in the standard A6/A7 outputs.
