Roberson I believe you were thinking kph not kpl (km/l) when you did your
conversions. Or you forgot to convert mpl to mpg and your results are
actually mpl. Converting kpl to mpg I get (kpl*3.8/1.6=mpg):

Base car: 51 mpg

Everyday car: 44 mpg

Tank: 29 mpg

And once again, does that sound right to you?
