No... I'm in Coastal Florida, so I'm talkin' about U.S. gallons,
Canadians are probably talkin' imperial gallons (which are a coupla' ounces larger)...

But this all becomes moot if locale for these prices isn't known...

Canadians arnt on imperial silly

Litres! We're metric, have been for a while now.

Dont think we could talk about a more confusion conversion than gas

Got 3-4 different currencies and then metric and imperial all being thrown out there

I think it's like 3.76 liters per gallon?? IF I'm right it would be $6.35 US which would be horrible, but then again I could just be an idiot who doesn't know how to do math, who knows?

The only thing you forgot was the exchange rate.... which is about .89/1.00 C/A....

So, that would be... whatever 6.35 * .89 is, which I ain't gonna bother as that is still damn expensive!!!

Okay... I really don't feel like converting, so here it is...

My Love told me he filled up his entire 14-gallon tank for about $30 today. It was something like $2.19/gallon.

I wish it was that cheap here in D.C.!

2.23 where i live

*Godfather* · 09-16-2006, 11:26 AM

Yaaaaaaaaay.

It's down to $.96 a litre

.....not as good as $.50/L that it was several years ago...but way better than a 1.20

Monk · 09-17-2006, 06:24 PM

We may actually stabilize around $2/USgal shortly!
It's down about $2.30 some places around here.

Elections are wonderful things... if they only meant anything.
