Canon does use (lossless) compression in their raw files and files can vary widely depending on the subject matter. Shoot an image with lots of blue sky and you will be amazed at just how small the raw data is. Looking at random in my files I see a 25% variation even in quite normal data sets.
Canon offers a 'safe average' value of file sizes to provide some sort of rough yardstick for fitting images onto a disk. Not to worry!!
