You seem to be forgetting a whole demographic here, What about the fact that they are still selling millions of vehicles to older Canadian consumer's whom for many many years used the MPG (Imperial Measure) method, which they are comfortable with and is undoubtably why it is still used!!...Anyways all you have to do if your comparing the Canadian spec with the US spec is minus 20% from the Canadian spec and you'll end up with the U.S spec.If you have a problem with the whole thing, than maybe you should write the Canadian Government because they are the ones who control how the info is stated, not the manufacturers.I'm just stating the way it is, I don't make the rules.
