Manitoba,
You use the Imperial gallon I believe, which is a shade larger than our gallon. Anyway, your liter is .26 of our gallon. Haven"t done the math to convert to our gallon accurately, but your $1.15 per liter would make our gallon about $4.50 - $4.60. Makes it even rougher for us poor Americans nowadays because our dollar is getting to be less value than your "Loonie".
I forgot to look at our Wisconsin prices lately, but our gas is higher than Iowa or surrounding states because we have such high gas taxes to pay for unemployment payments, etc, among other things.
Looks like it"s going to be real expensive driving from Ft. Francis to Ear Falls, ONT next summer to entertain walleyes. I don"t even take my boat up there anymore, it"s got a 2 cycle motor and the camp boats are all new 4 cycle which get 3 times better "mileage" for the week. Fishing camps add a couple bucks to local gas prices, but it"s so much fun to be up there it"s worth it.
