"When we talk about a car’s fuel economy, what we want to know is how much fuel does it use, not how far does it go."

Not sure about that. For Internet speed would you prefer to know how many seconds it takes to download 100MB as opposed to Mbps?

Depends if you have a fixed MB demand or a fixed time budget, doesn't it? Which is better when you are downloading a 4.6G ISO?
