Apples / apples comparisons really aren't possible between US and anywhere else. Emissions regs are a bit different in USA, resulting in lower economy US for both diesel and gas. As well, USA gasoline is diluted with ethanol for political reasons (basically, Archer Daniels Midland corporation owns more of Congress than "We, the People") which further erodes gas economy.
