from what it looks like

you get 2.9km per Litre of gas...

which isn't good as the metric conversion of MPG is L / 100km
example

if you have a 60 L tank, and you get 12L / 100km
you have a total possible 500km you can put on that tank before needing a refill
60 / 12 = 5, 5*100km = 500km

12L / 100 = 19.601 MPG

I dono if thats backwards of if you get 8.87km / L (which doesn't make sense, you'd have no fuel economy)

That is about the same as my '68 gets.

100 km / 8.87 km/L = 11.27L per 100 km.
11.27L / 4.545L/gal = 2.48gal per 100 km.
100 km / 1.6 km/mile = 62.5 miles.
62.5 miles / 2.48gal = 25.20 mpg(miles/gal).
=25.20 mpg

So the worst mileage the car got was 8mpg, and the best was 25mpg. Damn that car must love fuel.
