Was that a joke? Because it's not true. It doesn't really matter what the units are. The issue is that, despite the fact that you're travelling the same distance each way, the fuel midpoint occurs a little before you reach your distance midpoint. (Or after, if the fuel efficiency is lower on the return trip.)
