The numbers for 1 litre of fuel don't really add up, either. They said the flight took ~38 hours, but when it landed it had ~ 2 ounces of fuel left, which would have "[left] it less than an hour left before it would have crashed".
~34 ounces per liter, ~2(+) ounces per hour, implies >2 liters for the flight.
The speeds are about right, though: 1800 miles/55mph=33 hours, /42 = 43 hours.
