Argh the liberal admixture of different units (mpg, kg, L, hr) in the first table really brings home that this is a UK piece.

Also the mpg figures are almost certainly “metric gallons”, 4.5l.
US gallons are 3.8l

UK uses "imperial gallons", which are no more metric than US customary gallons. Expanded to 3 decimals, a UK/imperial gallon is 4.546L, and a US customary gallon is 3.786, and a US gallon is close to 3.8L, than a imperial gallon is to 4.5L.
