** Description changed:

  The fleet module seems to assume that fuel volumes are measured in
  liters. AFAIK, this is not the case (in the US, the fuel is measured in
  gallons. In the same fashion that there is an odometer_unit field, there
- should be a fuel_volume_unit field, and the liter field should be
- renamed to liter.
+ should be a 'fuel_volume_unit' field, and the 'liter' field should be
+ renamed to 'volume'.
  
  Of course, nothing prevents from using the 'liter' field with gallons
  values, but if you want to compare values in a multicompany settings
  with one company in the USA and the other one in Canada or in Mexico,
  things are going to be more awkward. Same thing for someone using a car
  in a Canadian company to travel in the US.
