You will probably not find the price of fuel is so different. The US $ is 20% higher, and the US gallon is 20% smaller. Gasoline is much cheaper in the USA, but the price of diesel remains much higher.
Actually there is a huge difference in price. There are 3.78 litres in a US gallon. We have gas for $2.00 per gallon here. That figures out to 26cents per liter. In Ontario it was 70-80 cents per litre. Even with the exchange on the money there is still a huge difference. A few years back we came from Edmonton, AB. to the UP of Mich without any freeways. We just followed a road East until the pavement ended or the road ended and then turned. It was very interesting. I have covered most of the Trans Canada from Vancouver to NB.
Part of the difference is in the way we do math. In our system the U S gas at 2.00 would be 53 cents per litre. Canadian gas at 80 cents per litre would cost about 69 cents U S per letre as the present exchange rate.
