I think you are calculating as "twice the distance from 0 C", which is a relatively arbitrary zero point. Change the zero point and the ratios change.

The coldest measured temperature is -89.2 C, so -162 C is indeed about twice that C value.

However, in Kelvin that's 184 K for Vostok and 111 K for LNG, which is only 40% colder.
