Is that a car?
Looks like a motorcycle inside it's sidecar.
Looks like a single seater, but they only show a
side view so you can't tell.
If it only gets 40MPG then it can't be too
efficient. My 1994 Honda Accord got 40MPG
when it was new and it seats 4 and has room
for groceries.
Cheers,
Rich

That's odd, the Canadian version gets well over 60 mpg (4.2 litres per
100 km)

I forgot to add that's for a combined city/highway driving. It gets 3.7
l/100 km highway (manual)

Could it be that a Canadian gallon has 5 quarts
instead of 4 quarts as in the US?

I'll be damned.

Volume
Canadian gallon to litres: Multiply number of Canadian imperial gallons by 4.5.
Litres to Canadian gallon: Multiply number of litres by 0.22 The Canadian gallon
is based on the imperial quart, which is one quarter larger than the U.S. quart
(four Canadian gallons = five U.S. gallons)
Note: Measurements are approximate for easy conversion.
==================
Only problem with this explanation is that if the Canadian gallon
is 1/4 larger, 1.25*40 = 50, not 60.
Is the Canadian mile different too? :-)

Rich
