Motorbiscuit.com has an article titled Is There a Better Way to Find the Best Fuel Mileage? Popular Science Says Yes

It seems that the information sticker on new cars sold in the US has had the fuel efficiency listed in gallons per hundred miles and miles per gallon since 2012, but few people have noticed this. The article explains how the gallons per 100 is calculated, and mentions that litres per 100 km has been used in Europe for a long time. (Not just Europe; it's also in use here in Australia, and presumably every metric country.)

There is also a link to a story on Popular Science (dated 2021-08-15,) on the same subject.

EDIT: Kudos to the Popular Science article for including a picture of a typical ~~information sticker~~ Monroney sticker that includes the gallons per 100 information.
