The math is easy either way.  The important part is to remember that it 
is a percentage issue, not a simple subtraction one.  Of course, that 
assumes one has a "need" for that 16 mpg vehicle (which one might, if 
replacing a 10 mpg one).

Oh, and on the mpg vs. l/100 km thing, at least in "our" system a bigger 
number is better.  That works well for Americans.
