Imperial gallons (5 quarts)? You are still on the imperial system in Quebec? You didn't change to the metric system with the rest of Canada? I thought the US was the only one still in the non-metric stone ages.

No, we use the metric system and the fuel pumps deliver in liter. 1 canadian gallon was used in the old days, but some people still refer to it to calculate MPG, but they calculate 1 imperial gallons, same as the United Kingdom gallons. 1 canadian gallons equal 4.54 liter and one US gallon equal 3.78 liter. So if people are translating liter to MPG using the old imperial system, they end up with more MPG than using the US gallon.
