(I do believe those are imperial measurements, which would translate to: 67mpg, 65mpg, and 62mpg, US).

You also have to consider the difference in the mileage tests. The Euro tests give higher numbers than the US EPA test. It's not a direct percent change, it varies by vehicle, but the difference is in the 10-15% range I believe.
60 mpg, 58 mpg, 56 mpg are the most comparable numbers. The most efficient cars available here are two Prius variants, both rated at 50 mpg.
