US Average = somewhere around $2/gallon say.

Canadian = Average $0.80/liter *3.8 = $3.04/gallon (Average probably isn't .80 but whatever.)

Factor in exchange ( don't really know if thats appropriate since it should be based on a percentage on income perhaps but just for kicks) this = $2.19

So actually Canadian/American gas prices are pretty close. I'm suprised, I thought that Americans were getting their gas way cheaper.

In Calgary a month ago it was $0.65/liter now its up to 0.77 or somewhere around there.

Anyway, another point to make is that N Ameruca gas prices are no where near what it costs overseas in Europe and such. Thats why they all drive those small POS ugly cars that have a hole in the floor so you can drive like fred flintstone.
