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".

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.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
