I had to look this up... I guess I am not smarter than a 5th grader..haha

1 Gallons (US) = 3.78541178 Liters

3.78 x .90 = $3.04 per gallon in Vancouver... Dang expensive up there!

Yes, yes it is. Please send me money so that I may buy gas

I think my tank still costs around $55 (I think. I rarely fill the tank, I'm usually the half tank person)

fill up here in canada is expensive, why do you think so many canadians go across the border to Blaine, WA to fill up on cheap gas? yeah, for me to fill up my GS on 93 octane, it's around $50-60 canadian dollars
