Gas prices are the same, id pay 76-80$ for a tank and id get around 350-400 km per tank. With my twin. 50$ to fill up and i get around 350-400km per tank. A STOCK jeep with 2000 less pounds gets around 12-14 mpg. Why in the hell would a big old jeep get almost the same as a brand new 4 cyl car? Id expect the car to be waaaaaaay better. I dont expect to get 1000 miles to a tank but i expect to double the kms for dollars. I actually tried to drive liie a grandma, shifting at 2200, never being aggresive. For a whole tank. It was stoll SHIT mileage. It makes no sense that i wouldnt. I almost feeel the mpg display on my frs lies to me.
I ask again how is $76 to 80 (weird choice of numbers) for 350 "the same" as $50? That is a 50% difference. And again that is not factoring in the difference in price between regular and premium.

Also how the hell does 12 to 14 mpg be equal to 24?

Math appears to be beyond your abiliy. You have no concept of reality do you?
