Either way is correct if you qualify it by saying "17mi/us gal" or "21mi/imp gal".

I've always thought of it in Imp. gallons. It 'feels' Canadian.

To shorten ex everything's formula a bit:

multiply km/L by 2.84 for mi/imp gal
multiply km/L by 2.28 for mi/us gal

It even says on some urinals..."3.8L/F 1GL/F"...Therefore 3.8L=1 gallon

I think it sounds more impressive if you say "Yep...got me a 3.8L under the hood..."rather than "Yep..Got me a 1 Gln under the hood"...

Just my thoughts

hey I've got the definitive answer - If you check the car section of this week's SUN - they list mileage as both miles/gallon and litres/100 km. If you look at the numbers - they are calculating based on the imperial 4.54 litre gallon.
