I need to do 23.12 mpg better than my opponent to win the first round. Is that it? If so that's seriously biased towards low mpg vehicles. Suppose we have a 100 mpg car going up against a 20 mpg one. That would be +80 mpg for the 20 mpg car. If the 100 mpg car pulls a 80 mpg he automatically looses if the 20 mpg car can pull 0+ mpg.

It should be measured in fuel volume by distance.
I like the setup because the handicap allows for diversity in car matchups, and needs to be in place for multiple rounds. From my POV, we should run the table and do a post-game analysis.
