Pretty close, I would say, Paul. Section B.5 of NIST SP 811 states it as:
"To convert fuel economy stated in miles per U.S. gallon to fuel
consumption expressed in L/(100 km), divide 235.215 by the numerical
value of the stated fuel economy. Thus 24 miles per gallon corresponds
to 9.8 L/(100 km)."

I just doodled awhile to derive this. Please tell me if this is correct or not:
L/100 km ~= 238/MILES PER GALLON
(Fuel consumption in liters per 100 kilometers is approximately equal to 238
divided by the fuel economy in miles per gallon)
