I know that the US gallon is smaller than the imperial gallon, making the American cars sound worse on fuel economy than they are, but 12 mpg is pretty bad by any measure.

For those who use the SI, that's approximately 603 kilorods/hogshead.
Actually, we SI nerds measure fuel economy exactly the other way around: in units of volume per unit of distance*), which would make your car do about 0.3 kilothimbles/nanoparsec.

*) Which cancels out nicely as a unit of area, as XKCD wittily observed. Your car thus does about 0.282 aT (atto Texases).
