Honestly, this is a unit that one could easily use and be somewhat correct. I often think about the gains or losses based on actual travel speed vs speed limit. If you end up taking an extra 6 minutes during a drive that would normally take 1 hour,, you could actually state you're travelling 0.9 hours per hour. I like it.
You know, I had 1.1 and then decided to change it. I’m thinking you can travel as far at this new speed as you could in 0.9 hours at normal speed. But both ways could make sense. (In practice, this is a great argument for why these units don’t actually work.)
Of course, because h/h is unitless, so inverting it just becomes a convoluted way of saying "I was 10% slower than normal" versus "normally I'm 10% faster than today".
