> It makes no sense to reduce a volume to a surface.

It kinda does, it is the (average) cross section of the fuel flowing from tank to engine.

Sure, but to be useful you need flow rate, at which point you're basically back to calculating volume. Gas is purchased in volume, and stored in volume. Why not keep the measurement of use as volume per time or distance?
