Old math

I once figured that if the C$ = US x 0.75, multiply the per liter price by 3 and that is US $ price per gallon (works for the previous post - check it out). Maybe it's up higher in this old thread that was just bumped. If you are a math whiz, you probably see that if you divide the US$ price by 3, that is the C$ price per liter at the 75 cent C$, which is correct today. I was on a road trip passing through the Tonawanda Seneca nation between Buffalo and Rochester where the price was $2.05 per gallon - so that would be 68 cents C$ per liter. On the way home, I stopped at Jay's Place on the Tuscarora reserve and went back via the nearby Queenston crossing to Canada. Jay was selling at $2.18 and Smokin Joe was $2.28 - Jay does not engage in price fixing because Joe is the one who advertises. Most people stop at those places for cigarettes but I don't mind missing out on that. Jay has a good breakfast place too.
