How are gasoline prices in Canada quoted?
Hi all,
Looking at a website such as www.torontogasprices.com, it's not immediately clear how the prices are quoted. Am I right in thinking that it's Canadian cents/litre? And if so, are prices generally cheaper just over the US border? thanks |

Prices have always tended to be cheaper on the US side. Taxes are gouged at different rates in each province. E.g., Quebec's fuel taxes are higher than Ontario's. Given the increased security & huge line-ups to cross the border, it's up to you to determine if it's worth the wait, or see if you can go across in an off-peak time. It's still cheaper than in Europe, but we're getting closer. http://www.gasbuddy.com/gb_can_gastemperaturemap.aspx shows the prices around Canada & also in the US. A US gallon is about 3.8 L. Thanks all. What I found particularly confusing was several comparison websites showing US and Canadian prices - one set in US$ per gallon and the other as stated above. |

Don't forget that the U.S. dollar and the Canadian dollar are NOT exactly the same--CDN dollar is currently trading just over 98 cents US. Also, the U.S. gallon is equal to just UNDER 4 litres while the CDN gallon is approx. 4.54 litres. To further confuse matters, the U.S. gallon has 128 U.S. ounces while the Canadian gallon has 160 IMPERIAL ounces. In other words the U.S. ounce is a tiny amount LARGER than the Imperial ounce, while the Imperial (CDN) gallon is substantially larger than the U.S. gallon. Pity!! |

I always thought a fluid ounce was a fluid ounce, but it appears you are correct: 1 US fluid ounce = 1.041 British (and presumably Canadian) fluid ounces. |
