Canada uses imperial gallons, which are about 25% bigger than U.S. gallons. They also use a different mileage test cycle than the EPA.

and don't they use those funny metres whereas we use manly meters. They also have some white stuff they call snow. I've seen pictures, here in Texas we just have summer.

 

Seriously though, I'm surprised their stickers aren't in km/l like you'll see in Europe.

Weird that they indicate imperial gallons, other manufacturer spec US mpg.

Makes it hard to compare.

 

But in Hybrid, 4.5 L/100 = 52.27 mpg US, much higher then the EPA rating.

Already the EPA is high.

 

Plus EV range in canada is 43 km = 26.7 miles, so they are high on this too. 

 

In Canada, its always L/100 km

In my experience, a 26.7 mile EV range is more accurate than the "up to 21 miles" that the EPA estimates.
