We measure fuel efficiency as amount of fuel used to cover a fixed distance.
(Or as you do, the distance you can cover with a fixed amount of fuel.)
No-one is really looking for or even interested in work done per unit of fuel when driving a vehicle.
Any OBC or ultragauge / scangauge / mpguino will show you that during the acceleration phase , FE is really suffering.
But then, you know all that ...
