I understand your point, but being different tests, there's no direct comparison.
As an example, the 1997 1.8 Mazda Protege (the figures I use for my Astina), rates 23MPG city in the US and rates 26.13 in Australia, 13.6% higher.
The same car rates 29 MPG highway in the US and 36.75 in Australia, 26.7% higher.
Which percentage would you use?
Because the test method is different, different engine/transmission combinations would probably produce different percentage variations even within the same model.
There's probably no "one size fits all" multiplying factor that can reasonably be applied.
