uh remember guys canada has different ways to test their cars. The way their rating system is setup is a bit different than Americans so think of it as EPA +10 percent or something whenever you read a Canadian label fuel economy sticker.

edit: blarg, actually the system is not that much different at all, just a few modifications, those are IMPERIAL GALLONS now that I took a closer look! http://oee.nrcan.gc.ca/english/index...=N&PrintView=N

Its very possible to gain 70 mpg(US) tanks with a prius and even more!

the power of pulsing & coasting in action.

i got around 20 km a liter when i drove a civic 5 spd using advanced hypermiler techniques
and now I drive a salvage nwh20 prius that gets almost to 25 km/l with 195,000 km to date.
