Say all of them drive 10,000 miles in one year. Car B looks like it should be worse than Car A by as much much as Car C is better than Car A.

Car A uses 333 gallons
Car B uses 400 gallons -> 777 more than Car A
Car C uses 286 gallons -> 47 less gallons than Car A

That is what I call a dumb measurement.
67 gallons more

edit: you're just dealing with % difference better or worse rather than flat like L/100km, would just be nice if all of NA used the same ratio order. just make it so the better car mileage is always going up or always going down if you know what I mean.
