That's been discussed on here. Turns out, L/100 km or gallons/mile gives a more realistic way of comparing efficiency differences. For example, using mpg, going from 40mpg to 50mpg (25% increase) seems better than going from 20mpg to 25mpg (again, 25%). But the reality is 20mpg to 25mpg saves a lot more gas.
