I will explain in further post how I did the conversion calculations. A good and easy conversion formula between EPA or EU average fuel consumption is as follows:
EPA(usmpg)= 205.87/EU(L/100km)
EU(L/100km)= 202.04/EPA(mpg)

this method has only +- 14% error because of big differences between city homologation cycle. This error is around +-3% for EU 3.5 to 6.5 L/100 km (or EPA around 27 mpg).
