That is abysmal fuel economy. Fuel economy is such a huge selling feature now that I would assume the advertising guys would have noticed that and "fudged" the display to make it more attractive to the consumer.
It was probably originally an American commercial and they changed "miles" to "km" without changing the numbers.
