There is 3.785 litres per US gallon and at 1.19 per litre, that makes it $4.50 per US Gallon, and we here in Edmonton have the cheapest gas in Canada. The highest (as of yesterday) is in Montreal area where they are paying $5.79 per US Gallon. The Canadian dollar is just above par right now .. but really nothing to write home about.

I do agree that Europe is getting screwed, but I haven't been there for many years, so I really don't know how much they are paying. All I know is that you don't see many non-econo box cars over there.

You're right. I accidently plugged in 3.875 x 1.19 into my calculator, rather than 3.785. I took the total I got and plugged it into a CAD to USD converter on the intedrnet. My bad for accidentally enterin g the wrong amount. If the number is still off, I'm glad I don't remember which site I visited to use the currency converter!
