Default Canadian Gallons (Imperial) vs US Gallons

Vacationing in Florida these days and got to wondering how my 2016 (a Canadian car) is calibrated when it tells me so many MPG?

US gallon or Canadian gallon?

The US gallon is about 25% less than an Imperial gallon.

Getting some really great mileage figures on the interstates so if the calibration is for US gallons then I am getting phenomenal mileage!

Does anyone have a definitive answer rather than a guess?

Thx.

PS: Weather is great and top down all the time.

Should be pretty easy to Google convert your current litres/100km to Imperial and US MPG. Whichever is closest is the answer.

The C7 is calibrated for MPG in US gallons, even the Canadian cars. As mentioned by RUU, converting the L per 100km value to MPG will show you that.
