$1.449/litre is $4.36 U.S. for a U.S. gal.

 

Gas is getting expensive in Canada. Although a bunch of green onions has been hit harder by inflation than gasoline. One bunch of green onions can run a careful shopper almost $2. Unbelievable. The price of gasoline is still worth a mention.

Gas is sold by the litre in Canada. Friday it was hitting nearly $1.50 per litre at some name brand stations. Although not quite as bad, it was still $1.449 at off brand gas bars. That converts to $6.59 for an imperial gallon of fuel or $5.49 for a American gallon. Why the difference? The U.S. gallon is much smaller than the traditional Canadian or Imperial gallon.

As the Canadian dollar is not worth as much as the U.S. dollar. The price drops to $4.36 per gallon when paid for in U.S. funds. Yanks think they have it tough with gas running around $2.40 a gallon in the States. Americans would be so surprised to know how much stuff costs outside the U.S.
