Part of the problem is the unAmerican measuring system you Canucks are using!
Europe is through the roof as well. Heck, I think they are paying as much in taxes are they are for the fuel, perhaps more. SMDH....
Well I am going to trust Colin's (1990RangerinSK) math - his numbers sound about right.
As you say, we have been measuring volume in Liters and distance in kilometers for some time now (though fuel tanks are the same as yours and will actually have a capacity in US Gallons, and land was laid out long ago and surveyed in miles. And lumber is still in 4x8 sheets and dimensional lumber and structural steel is still in nominal inches - though how a 2x4 can be 1.75 x 3.5 inches is still kinda mysterious)
Anyway, if anyone is interested:
An Imperial (old system used in Canada) gallon is 160 fluid ounces or 4.54 L
A US gallon is 128 fluid ounces or 3.78 L
A mile is 1.6 kilometers (roughly)
A US dollar is currently trading at $1.31 Cdn
Gas was up to about $1.25 per L in my part of Saskatchewan, but has subsided back to about $1.12 to $1.14 per L this last week or so.
So it does take an agile mind, a long back of an envelope, or a handy computer app to do the calculations, and the answer is generally depressing, so a lot of us don't bother.
Someone's observation about taxes being a lot of it is right on the money (ouch!). In Canada, our provinces and the feds take a (un)healthy cut of gasoline/diesel sales. And our Primeminister, ever eager to impress the UN, is getting set to impose a further carbon tax at the end of this year, though the provinces are increasingly in revolt. We do have a federal election coming up next fall, so it should be an interesting ride!
Update: Canadians pay on the average about 33% of the pump price in taxes (sometimes taxes on taxes), lower 30s out west. For a good detailed read on the Canadian gas tax situation, see the following link:
