On the other hand, try "4.7L/100km to mpg" in both. Alpha understands the question and reformats it nicely but then doesn't calculate the answer. Google just gives the answer.

it works if you match the ratio (i.e. 100km/4.7L : m/g) but it probably should understand that input and maybe have the result as blah^-1
