    Wait that’s still the mpg in the us ? That’s the same gallon we use in the uk ? (As I learnt the a us gallon can be different when talking about whisky or some thing along those lines…)

      They are different standards, 100%! I hate that MPG in both English speaking countries means two different things. It’s like how Americas horsepower number is different than Britains. I feel bad for Canada too who’s caught between British units and American Units, and that’s before being dragged into the metric vs imperial. It’s unfortunate.

        Eh, we Canadians officially use L/100km, which just make so much more sense to compare fuel efficiency. MPG can be so misleading.

          Correct, but you use imperial units for home building. Which I imagine is annoying and confusing.

      Different gallons. One US gallon is 0.832674 UK gallons, or 3.785412 liters.

      An imperial gallon is slightly bigger than a US gallon.
