Canadian Motor Vehicle safety regulations do not mandate that speedometers & odometers in cars for the Canadian market display anything other than km/h & km (respectively).   That being said, the speedometers of most cars sold in Canada do have both both km/h and mph (with the km/h being the larger numbers).   Keep in mind that the majority of the population of Canada lives within 150 km of the border, so there is a pretty high possibility that a car owned in Canada will travel into the United States at some time.  Having the mph on the dial can be helpful, when driving on US highways.   Stephen Gallagher ----- Original Message ----- From: generic_user To: U.S. Metric Association Sent: 21 September 2003 09:12 Subject: [USMA:27018] Re: Mexico 1. Stop using HTML mails   2. Cars in Canda do have km-only speedometers. I've looked in some car interiors. Maybe old cars do have dual.   bye ----- Original Message ----- From: john mercer To: U.S. Metric Association Sent: Sunday, September 21, 2003 5:08 AM Subject: [USMA:27015] Mexico Hello could anyone please tell me how much metric Mexico uses?  Do they use both imperial and metric?  What about the rest of Latin America?  About the Chevy Malibu was that an 03 or an 04?  In Canada all cars have K M's on the outer circle of the spedo with Mph on the inner.  It would be interesting to know if the same car in Canada has no miles per hour.  When goods are shipped to Mexico from the States do they have both metric and imperial on the goods?  Thanks for everybody's help, I really apreciate it very much.
