I found it much easier to assess my own home energy use when our gas
company started printing the kWh equivalent of the gas used rather than
just the volume. Yes, the information was technically available to me
before (as in the calorific value of the gas, the volume used and the
conversion rates) but having it provided made life a lot easier.

The MPG rating of plug-in hybrid and pure-electric cars should be provided
using an energy equivalence to standard unleaded petrol otherwise you are
just taking a manufacturer's hand-wave for a comparative figure (or rather
their marketing department's assessment of how gullible the target buyer is).
