You'd have thought that with almost everything in the US being larger than everywhere else, their gallons would be as well, not 20% less than ours.

That is why you should never believe the fuel confuser on the dash. Pencil and calculator are far more reliable.

For some odd reason, my car's fuel computer only does L/100km or L/100 miles.

Is that the Mazda? My mk1 Mazda 6 was like that, but the mk2 I have now allows mpg if you want it.
