RX330 Gas consumption - USA & Canada different
With everyone being aware of gas prices, I was looking through RX330 brochure on the web and I can't understand the gas (in gallons) consumption is different in USA and Canada.
Here are the details from the two websites (Lexus.com & Lexus.ca)
USA
Fuel-tank capacity: 72 L
Fuel consumption: 18/24 mpg city/highway (AWD) ]
Canada
Fuel Capacity litres 72.5L
Fuel Consumption - 22/31 mpg City/Highway (AWD)
I wonder is the "gallon" size is different in two countries ?

As far as the different fuel capacities, that's a puzzler. but I am looking at a 0.5 liter bottle on my desk, and it's a small enough difference that it's probably just rounding error.

mmahamm, you are right, I just looked it up on answers.com and here's what it came up with:
1. A unit of volume in the U.S. Customary System, used in liquid measure, equal to 4 quarts (3.785 liters).
2. A unit of volume in the British Imperial System, used in liquid and dry measure, equal to 4 quarts (4.546 liters).
That explains tons about the "gas consumption" talked about on other threads
