Lucky you are not in the Pacific NW

In Vancouver, Canada it is 91 cents per litre (Canadian). 4 litres is slightly more than a gallon. So for a gallon it is $3.64 Canadian per gallon. If you convert it to US dollars (it takes $1.39 Canadian to make $1 US)

The bottom line $2.62 US per gallon in Western Canada.
You know it is bad when you put $15 CDN ($11 US) of gas in your Kia and it only fills the tank half way

Now if you hop in hoopty and drive for 15 minutes across the border, the cheapest gas right across the border in Blaine, WA is $1.99. Drive another 20 minutes south to where I work in Bellingham it is $1.91 (if you got a discount card, it is $1.88)

Translation: Due to prices across the border, you will see a lot of these folx:



Them Canadians got no problems making a run for the border! We (my mother in law, husband and I will only fill up in the US now)
