A canadian gallon is 5/4 of a US gallon. (Yes it's stupid I know) but a gallon in the US consists of 4 quarts. A gallon in Canada is actually 5 quarts!
You'll notice that the canadian numbers are exactly 5/4 higher than the US numbers. (or the US numbers are exactly 4/5 lower than the canadian numbers)
It's because a gallon is not always a gallon. Especially when it's a canadian gallon. :-p
(it has nothing to do with the metric system, which rules by the way)

The canadians use what is called an imperial gallon. The US uses a US gallon.

Canadians use metric system - where the US is using the English system. So the Canadian is probably Kilometers per liter or something similar where the US is Miles per Gallon.

Different country's, different legal specifications for each car.
