Gas mileage in Canada is calculated differently, with imperial gallons and a different testing method, but we can make rough estimates of US miles per gallon from Canadian figures. (This method assumes differences in testing methods will scale in a linear fashion). These estimates (in pink, below) are based on the proportions of known US mileage figures to known Canadian mileage figures.
