Yes, cheating, because the two are using different units. Now if you wanted to try for 100 km/gal at 100 km/hr, that would be sort of fair. Even though you're not using metric units for volume, you're not using them for time either.
Which of course raises an interesting question: if non-metric units are so archaic and all that, and metric are so much easier because they're powers of 10, how come you all stick with 24-hour days made up of 60 minute hours, with 60 seconds in each minute? I don't suppose you can do much about the 365 1/4 day years, though.
