I was surprised it was that high.
And apparently the market share of 4 cylinders has continued to grow, even after gas prices declined last year.
(That could be a function of the economy though: people scaling back their auto purchases in uncertain times.)

So now 83.3 per cent of all cars sold in Canada have a four-banger. That's massive. In fact, DesRosiers Automotive Consultants reports that the overall market share of small, fuel-efficient vehicles (cars and light trucks combined) in Canada has grown from about 25 per cent of sales to about 60 per cent of sales over the last 25 years.
