1 gallon [US, liquid] = 3.785 411 784 liter
1 gallon [UK] = 4.546 09 liter = 1 imperial gallon
44 mpg (US) is 5.35 L/100km
Either engine in a Jetta should really be able to use less than 5L/100km (47 mpg US) with a manual transmission.
In summertime and long distance riding you should really be aiming for 4.5L/100km - or better.
And they can do better, so there's plenty of room for improvement.
