You've probably (inadvertently) set the thing to display metric units
(liters/100km, Celsius temperature).

If you hold down both the R and INFO buttons together for 5 seconds, the
display units are changed. There are at least three sets of units on the
'87, and four sets on the '90 and newer 9k cars.

Here are the possibilities:

liters per 100km, Celsius
miles per imperial gallon, Celsius
miles per imperial gallon, Farenheit
miles per US gallon, Farenheit

I suspect you're looking for the last combination.

The owner's manual that came with the car has a clear explanation for this
stuff.
