Default Euro gas consumption meter conversion to MPG

On my 85 euro it has a metric gas consumption meter I am trying to convert it to an all american reading. It sits about 12 at steady drive on the interstate, has anyone converted this to MPG.

1/100 KM Dial indicates
5
10
15
20
25 and then pegged

If you drove a little faster like I do - that would be your MPG.
But try here instead.\/ \/ \/

If you have a Blackberry the calculator has a conversion program built in which will do this for you. 12l/100 km converts to 19.6 mpg.
5 (l/100km) = 47 (mpg)
10 = 23.52
15 = 15.68
20 = 11.76
25 = 9.4.
Hope this helps
