    Settable in dash meter. I'd chime in that maybe that's Imperial gallons, so bigger than US gallons? I'm in over my head here though.

    The US gallon is about the size of the Liter. The Imperial gallon is about 20% larger.

    He’s talking US gallons?

    Canadian dealership ads used to love to resurrect miles per “gallon”, even though the pumps have been liters for decades. Maybe still do. Somewhere down in the very fine print they disclose it’s imperial gallons, sometimes…
