I can't see that happening.
I got all confused with the different countries specs for a gallon.
I found while in the US, it was easier to use their weird measuring system, because it made it easier to work out what the tank could do,
Basically, 5 gallon tank(US) and at a normal speed of around 55-60mph, I managed to get 250 miles. So, basic maths says that is 50mpg.
I could never get my head around the new metric system of how many liters per 100kmh and just do my maths the other way around and get a number of how many KM's per liter.
So, on a good day, 20+km/lt and a fast day with a headwind, 14km/lt.
This was more useful to me in a days travel as I could relate it to the distance I needed to travel a lot easier than the other way. And it gave a me a distance I would need to walk to the closest servo when I ran out
I hope that has not confused you
