And yes, the two kinds of gallon do muddy things quite a bit. Km/L I can live with. Since the tank holds exactly 30L, and I get near enough to 400km on a tankful, it's easy to work out.
Well, that probably explains why your mileage is poor. If you drove it like a proper 600cc gutless granny car, you'd probably get much better mileage . It's a toy though, right? Toys are to have fun with.

L/100km is no harder than km/L. I had to learn it too when I moved to Canada. Just divide the other way.
