Diesel is usually 60%

But it's only 10 cents a gallon in Iraq.

Just a quick math check, a gallon is about 4 times the size of a liter, not 1/4. You should be able to go about 4 times as far on a gallon as on a liter, so more like 4000 miles per gallon instead of 250, assuming the rest of your calculations were correct.
