Ahh... don't believe everything you look up.. sometimes you need your math to get across the logic...
Metric readings for the car are volume/distance.. ie, litres/100km. For the US, (and imperial) you have the readings as distance / volume, ie, miles / gallon. US Gallons are smaller than imperial.
So, assuming you mean the 7.2 reading from your car, that is 7.2 litres/100 Km
From there, the story goes like this:
Readout:
litres / 100km= 7.2
so >litres/km= 0.072
1 Km = 0.6213712mi so >litres/mile=0.115872767
1 Litre = 0.2641721 US Gallon so >USG /mile=0.030610352
1 Litre = 0.2199692 Imp Gallon so >IMPG/mile=0.02548844
Converting to Miles per Gallon:
Miles / USG = 32.66
Miles / ImpG = 39.23
