Isn't it actually 43.7 mpg?
I guess it all depends if your using the imperial gallon or the US gallon.
1 US gallon = 3.79 litres
1 Imp. gallon = 4.55 litres

So, 100km / 1.6km = 62.5 miles
6.5 litres/4.55 = 1.43 gallons
62.5/1.43 = 43.70 mpg (Imperial)

and 6.5/3.79 = 1.71
so... 62.5/1.71 = 36.44 mpg (US)

I've always used Imperial calculations.
My last gas up showed me 38.7 mpg :)
