I paid $1.25 per liter this morning So at 4.56 liters per imperial gallon that equals $5.70 CAD per gallon or approximately $4.75 USD.

Tell me this doesn't suck

Good thing is the vette get's such great gas mileage. People have asked me what I was going to do about driving my vette if gas prices keep going up. I tell them, drive it more. Get's alot better mpg than my truck.
