- Last time I bought gas, I paid CDN $ 0.435/liter. I if count it right,
- it works out to be US $ 1.293/ US Gallon. Don't pay too much attention
- to Canadians complaining about gas prices. for one thing, they typically
- forget that the imperial gallon is much bigger than the US Gallon;
- also, they may be quoting prices in CDN $.
-
- AND BTW, I got a strong feeling that it won't take that much longer
- until you get some increase in gas tax in the US too...
