No- the conversion is correct for US mpg (5.4L/100km city, 3.9L/100km highway and 4.5L/100km combined), but they are a result of using the European test cycle. The reason they won't be close to the EPA numbers is because the EPA test cycle forces high consumption.
The Euro test cycle numbers on the other hand are derived from a pretty frugal driving method.
