I usually put 60 litres (16 gallons) in on tank-ups and it costs me $50 CAD. So thats $3.13 CAD which is $2.58 USD. And thats the lowest octane as well.

So...$2.58/gallon @ 87 (I think thats the lowest octane commonly found at gas stations?)

I think I beat all of you for being raped at the pumps...

99.6 cents a litre, 34 litres (half tank) = 33.86

converted to American dollars is 27.86
double that for a full tank 55.72
divde that by 18 gallons

3.09 a gallon, now that'* BS

I feel sorry for the Europeans though, they pay double that easy

Where in Canada are you from Iceman? I thought 83-87 cents a litre was rediculous...

Owen Sound ON, about an hour and a half north west of Toronto...

Regular was 88 when I bought my gas, and premium was 99.6
Atleast I'm starting to pull better than 13 MPG...lol

I'll get to test the mileage on the highway really soon,
I'm heading to T.O. Tuesday to see the Eagles
