$3.85.9/$0.9910=U$D3.89.4

$3.89.4/3.78541178= $CDN 1.02.8 per litre

Not bad actually, if I'm correct. (I don't really speak math, I just play
a mathematician on Usenet...)

Hi Pat,
You forgot to tell us your house just lost half a million, Gold tripled,
and we no longer laugh at Canadian money.

Not bad, that's $1.10 AUD a litre. We are currently paying around a $1.24
per litre, in NE Australia.

Interesting that you and I should both have filled up today. I hit a
record. For the first time in my life I got a credit card receipt for
exactly $100 for a tank of gas! Mind you, I did have the reserve light on
for about 10 km before I decided I'd better not cross that long bridge
before filling up. I paid $1.339/litre so, figuring 4 litres to the gallon,
I paid over $5/gallon. If I'd been able to put in regular grade I'd have
saved about 8¢/litre so it's not really a factor. I usually go more than
two weeks between fill-ups. But it definitely was something I noticed,
since it was a first for me.

Our taxes and hence our gasoline prices are higher than anywhere else in
Canada and include a transit levy to encourage is to stop driving and wait
for crowded buses to splash by us while we stand in the rain to wait.

Ah yes, but just think of the carbon credits you would be getting for your
country if you did.
Doesn't that just make you want to jump up and down with pure joy? :-)

Don't complain, guys. I'm paying £1.07 per litre for 95 octane, which is
the lowest grade available here. That's around $2.15 Canadian, $2.13 US,
or $2.30 Australian. That's $8.06 US per US gallon.
