Confusing?

Well when you fudge the Canadian dollar exchange to the smaller U.S. gallon it is math 101 and it's been a long time outta school.

$.81 a liter / canadian = $ 3.67 per canadian gallon

now going to U.S. dollars = $ 2.75 per canadian gallon

now go to smaller U.S. gallons = $ 2.29 U.S. per U. S. gallon

Lousy since I can go 5 miles across the border and get U.S. gas for $1.66 a gallon , so I'm losing $.63 a gallon in canada.

No matter, it still costs me a bunch, not as much as if I had to run premium fuel though.
